[PATCH] virtio_ring: reset IN_ORDER state in virtqueue_init()

From: lirongqing

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 08:47:12 EST


From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

The IN_ORDER feature uses additional software state to track the next
available descriptor and in-flight descriptor batches.

virtqueue_init() resets the common virtqueue state, but free_head and
batch_last.id are initialized only when the virtqueue is created. When
an IN_ORDER virtqueue is reset, these fields can retain state from the
previous queue instance.

Reset free_head and invalidate batch_last when initializing an IN_ORDER
virtqueue. Keep this in virtqueue_init() so the state is initialized
consistently for both newly created and reset virtqueues.

Fixes: f6a15d854986 ("virtio_ring: add in order support")
