[PATCH v2 2/2] vhost/vsock: keep IOTLB across feature updates

From: Jia Jia

Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 06:41:39 EST


VHOST_SET_FEATURES is also used to update logging while a device is
running. When ACCESS_PLATFORM stays enabled, allocating a new empty
IOTLB on every call drops valid translations and forces avoidable
misses.

Initialize the device IOTLB only when one does not already exist.
