[PATCH v4 0/7] vhost: Reset batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE call

[Eugenio PÃrez]

Vhost did not reset properly the batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE
event. Because of that, is possible to return an invalid descriptor to
the guest.

This series ammend this, resetting them every time backend changes, and
creates a test to assert correct behavior. To do that, they need to
expose a new function in virtio_ring, virtqueue_reset_free_head, only
on test code.

Another useful thing would be to check if mutex is properly get in
vq private_data accessors. Not sure if mutex debug code allow that,
similar to C++ unique lock::owns_lock. Not acquiring in the function
because caller code holds the mutex in order to perform more actions.

v4:
* Rebase with vhost_iotlb changes.

v3:
* Rename accesors functions.
* Make scsi and test use the accesors too.

v2:
* Squashed commits.
* Create vq private_data accesors (mst).
