When a change of memory map occurs, the hardware resources are destroyed
and then re-created again with the new memory map. In such case, we need
to restore the hardware available and used indices. The driver failed to
restore the used index which is added here.
Also, since the driver also fails to reset the available and used
indices upon device reset, fix this here to avoid regression caused by
the fact that used index may not be zero upon device reset.

The clearing looks fine at the first glance, as it aligns with the other
state cleanups floating around at the same place. However, the thing is
get_vq_state() is supposed to be called right after to get sync'ed with
the latest internal avail_index from device while vq is stopped. The
index was saved in the driver software at vq suspension, but before the
virtq object is destroyed. We shouldn't clear the avail_index too early.
Good point.
There's a limitation on the virtio spec and vDPA framework that we can not
simply differ device suspending from device reset.
Are you talking about live migration where you reset the device but
still want to know how far it progressed in order to continue from the
same place in the new VM?
Yes. So if we want to support live migration at we need:
in src node:
1) suspend the device
2) get last_avail_idx via get_vq_state()
in the dst node:
3) set last_avail_idx via set_vq_state()
4) resume the device
So you can see, step 2 requires the device/driver not to forget the
last_avail_idx.
Just to be sure, what really matters here is the used index. Becuase the
vriqtueue itself is copied from the src VM to the dest VM. The available
index is alreay there and we know the hardware reads it from there.
So for "last_avail_idx" I meant the hardware internal avail index. It's
not stored in the virtqueue so we must migrate it from src to dest and
set them through set_vq_state(). Then in the destination, the virtqueue
can be restarted from that index.
So it puzzles me why is set_vq_state() we do not communicate the saved
used index.
We don't do that since:
1) if the hardware can sync its internal used index from the virtqueue
during device, then we don't need it
2) if the hardware can not sync its internal used index, the driver (e.g
as you did here) can do that.
But there's no way for the hardware to deduce the internal avail index
from the virtqueue, that's why avail index is sycned.
Thanks
