[dpdk-stable] patch 'vhost: prevent disabled rings to be processed with zero-copy' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.2

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/24/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] vhost: prevent disabled rings to be processed with zero-copy

[ upstream commit 11d5253a3e93a38be14da65328dd19960fd8cb14 ]

The vhost-user spec says that once the vring is disabled, the
client has to stop processing it. But it can happen when
dequeue zero-copy is enabled if outstanding descriptors buffers
are still being processed by an external NIC or another guest.

The fix consists in draining the zmbufs list to ensure no more
descriptors buffers are in the wild.

Note that this fix is only working in the case REPLY_ACK
protocol feature is enabled, which is not the case by default
for now (it is only enabled when IOMMU feature is enabled in
the vhost library).

Fixes: b0a985d1f340 ("vhost: add dequeue zero copy")
