[PATCH v3] vdpa_sim: set last_used_idx as last_avail_idx in vdpasim_queue_ready

From: Eugenio Pérez
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 13:19:57 EST


Starting from an used_idx different than 0 is needed in use cases like
virtual machine migration. Not doing so and letting the caller set an
avail idx different than 0 causes destination device to try to use old
buffers that source driver already recover and are not available
anymore.

Since vdpa_sim does not support receive inflight descriptors as a
destination of a migration, let's set both avail_idx and used_idx the
same at vq start. This is how vhost-user works in a
VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE call.

Although the simple fix is to set last_used_idx at vdpasim_set_vq_state,
it would be reset at vdpasim_queue_ready. The last_avail_idx case is
fixed with commit 0e84f918fac8 ("vdpa_sim: not reset state in
vdpasim_queue_ready"). Since the only option is to make it equal to
last_avail_idx, adding the only change needed here.

This was discovered and tested live migrating the vdpa_sim_net device.

Cherry-picked from patch 2/2 of the series [1]. Differences are:
* Set the value of used_idx at vdpasim_queue_ready instead of fetching
from the guest vring like vhost-kernel.

v3:
* Fix commit id in the patch message.
* Add in code comment following the patch message about why it is done
this way.
v2: Actually update last_used_idx only at vdpasim_queue_ready.

Note that commit id present in the patch text is not in master but in
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost.git.
