Hi,


Would you please provide  a list of impacted APIs, thus we can check if our code has further issues. b.t.w, we are now using dpdk 18.11.


Thanks.

You are right. And other similar APIs also need to be protected.
Thanks for reporting this!

Thanks,

Thanks.

I'm looking into this issue. The API of the builtin backend
is supposed to be protected like enqueue/dequeue. So e.g.
rte_vhost_enable_guest_notification should also be protected.
I'll keep you in the CC list of the fix patch.

Thanks,
Tiwei

Hi，


We found that *rte_vhost_rx_queue_count* is not protected by vq->access_lock,
and the access to vq->avail->idx is not thread-safe, since at the same time, the vq->avail  might be 

set by *vring_invalidate* when some vhost-user messages arrived, such as VRING_SET_ADDRESS,
VRING_SET_MEM_TABLE, etc.


Thanks.
