Aha, we are getting somewhere!
Thanks very much for looking into this. This suggests strongly that
available index pointer is not set up correctly in vhost.
I would like to verify this and understand how it came to be
incorrect.
Sridhar, Shirley, could you please try this:
- make sure to enable CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y in .config
(if it's not there, you'll have to rebuild kernel, or
hack drivers/vhost/vhost.h to use pr_err instead of
pr_debug).
- echo 'module vhost_net +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
the above will make vhost print address which we tried to access, on error,
and they will apear in the output of the dmesg command.
In addition, please apply the following debugging patch to qemu.
this will make it output data about available index on startup.
Thanks!
