[PATCH 0/4] vhost: Cleanup

From: Gavin Shan
Date: Mon Apr 22 2024 - 23:24:30 EST


This is suggested by Michael S. Tsirkin according to [1] and the goal
is to apply smp_rmb() inside vhost_get_avail_idx() if needed. With it,
the caller of the function needn't to worry about memory barriers. Since
we're here, other cleanups are also applied.

PATCH[1] drops the local variable @last_avail_idx since it's equivalent
to vq->last_avail_idx
PATCH[2] improves vhost_get_avail_idx() so that smp_rmb() is applied if
needed. Besides, the sanity checks on the retrieved available
queue index are also squeezed to vhost_get_avail_idx()
PATCH[3] improves vhost_get_avail_head(), similar to what we're doing
for vhost_get_avail_idx(), so that the relevant sanity checks
on the head are squeezed to vhost_get_avail_head()
PATCH[4] Reformat vhost_{get, put}_user() by using tab instead of space
as the terminator for each line

Gavin Shan (4):
vhost: Drop variable last_avail_idx in vhost_get_vq_desc()
vhost: Improve vhost_get_avail_idx() with smp_rmb()
vhost: Improve vhost_get_avail_head()
vhost: Reformat vhost_{get, put}_user()
