Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 06/10] net/virtio: fix queue setup consistency

["Yao, Lei A" <lei.a.yao@intel.com>]

Hi, Olivier

This is Lei from DPDK validation team in Intel. During our DPDK 18.02-rc1 test,
I find the following patch will cause one serious issue with virtio vector path: 
the traffic can't resume after stop/start the virtio device. 

The step like following:
1. Launch vhost-user port using testpmd at Host 
2. Launch VM with virtio device, mergeable is off
3. Bind the virtio device to pmd driver, launch testpmd, let the tx/rx use vector path
    virtio_xmit_pkts_simple 
    virtio_recv_pkts_vec     
4. Send traffic to virtio device from vhost side, then stop the virtio device
5. Start the virtio device again
After step 5, the traffic can't resume. 

Could you help check this and give a fix? This issue will impact the virtio pmd user 
experience heavily. By the way, this patch is already included into V17.11. Looks like
we need give a patch to this LTS version.  Thanks a lot!

BRs
Lei
