Thank you for your new knowledge:)

Hi,mst

Thank you for your reply.
Sorry, maybe my mail filter have a bug,so i saw this mail until now.

I use the dpdk code before 2bbb811.I paste the code here for you to review.
(Note that the vhost_enqueue_burstand vhost_dequeue_burst function runs as poll mode.)

I guess if vhost_enqueue_burst used all the buffers in rx_ring then try to notify guest
to receive but at this time vcpu may be exiting so guest cann't receive the notify.
