The process for this reconnecttion  is
A.The first-time connection
1> The userland app checks if the device exists
2>  use the ioctl to create the vduse device
3> Mapping the kernel page to userland and save the
App-version/features/other information to this page
4>  if the Userland app needs to exit, then the Userland app will only
unmap the page and then exit

B, the re-connection
1> the userland app finds the device is existing
2> Mapping the kernel page to userland
3> check if the information in shared memory is satisfied to
reconnect,if ok then continue to reconnect
4> continue working

 For now these information are all from userland,So here the page will
be maintained by the userland App
in the previous code we only saved the api-version by uAPI .  if  we
need to support reconnection maybe we need to add 2 new uAPI for this,
one of the uAPI is to save the reconnect  information and another is
to get the information

maybe something like

struct vhost_reconnect_data {
uint32_t version;
uint64_t features;
uint8_t status;
struct virtio_net_config config;
uint32_t nr_vrings;
};

#define VDUSE_GET_RECONNECT_INFO _IOR (VDUSE_BASE, 0x1c, struct
vhost_reconnect_data)

#define VDUSE_SET_RECONNECT_INFO  _IOWR(VDUSE_BASE, 0x1d, struct
vhost_reconnect_data)

Thanks
