[RFC 1/5] vhost: reorder used descriptors in a batch

From: Guo Zhi
Date: Thu Jul 21 2022 - 04:44:21 EST


Device may not use descriptors in order, for example, NIC and SCSI may
not call __vhost_add_used_n with buffers in order. It's the task of
__vhost_add_used_n to order them. This commit reorder the buffers using
vq->heads, only the batch is begin from the expected start point and is
continuous can the batch be exposed to driver. And only writing out a
single used ring for a batch of descriptors, according to VIRTIO 1.1
spec.
