[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 0/2] Vhost & Virtio fixes for -rc4

[Maxime Coquelin]

This two patches series fixes two regressions met with virtio-user.
The first one is only reproduced when using the Vector path,
the second one may be met whatever the rx function.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 2/2] vhost: don't take access_lock on VHOST_USER_RESET_OWNER

[Maxime Coquelin]

A deadlock happens when handling VHOST_USER_RESET_OWNER request
for the same reason the lock is not taken for
VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE.

It is safe not to take the lock, as the queues are no more used
by the application when the virtqueues and the device are reset.

This patch has been tested by regression test suite. It can fix the traffic resume 
issue with vector path.  No performance drop during PVP test:

Following test are also checked and passed:
Vhost/virtio multi queue
Virtio-user
Virtio-user as exception path
Vhost/virtio reconnect

Proposed change for a more detailed commit log (thanks Tiwei for
the explanation):

Since commit efc83a1e7fc3 ("net/virtio: fix queue setup consistency"),
when resuming a virtio port, the rx rings are refilled with new mbufs
until they are full (vq->vq_free_cnt == 0). This is done without
ensuring that the descriptor index remains a multiple of
RTE_VIRTIO_VPMD_RX_REARM_THRESH, which is a prerequisite when using the
vector mode. This can cause an out of bound access in the rx ring.

This commit changes the vector refill method from
virtqueue_enqueue_recv_refill_simple() to virtio_rxq_rearm_vec(), which
properly checks that the refill is done by batch of
RTE_VIRTIO_VPMD_RX_REARM_THRESH.

It looks that virtqueue_enqueue_recv_refill_simple() is not used anymore.
We may want to remove it.

It means this patch also fixes the issue related to the patch I've just
submitted [1]. To ease backport process, I think the patch [1] is still
relevant because it fixes an older commit.

Another thing seen by Tiwei: virtio_rxq_vec_setup() should be called
before virtio_rxq_rearm_vec() because it initializes the mbuf
initializer.
