Cool. cleanup path needs a fix - are you use you can
not use kobj or some other existing refcounting?

Is perf regressiion caused by tx ring overrun gone now?

I added some comments about how we might be aqble
to complete requests out of order but it's not a must.

I thought we have a constant for that?

Ok, so we deal with a cyclic ring apparently? What guarantees we don't
overrun it?

How are errors handled with zerocopy?

Which fields need to be initialized actually?

Hmm.

A for loop might be clearer.

On shutdown, we signal all buffers used to the guest?
Why?

comment not very helpful.
Could you explain what this does instead?
Or better use some constant instead of 0 ...

Hmm so if the 1st entry does not complete, you do not signal anything?

Looking at this loop, done idx is the consumer and used idx
is the producer, right?

Yes?

Code will likely be simpler if you call vhost_add_used once for
each head in the first loop. Possibly add_used_signal might be
a good idea too.

This needs to be fixed somehow. Use a completion object and wait
on it?

this comment can now go.

future enhancement idea: this is used apparently under vq lock
so no need for an atomic?

looking at code upend_idx seems to be calculated independently
of guest avail idx - could you clarify pls?

monitor

I think in reality these are just producer and consumer
in the head structure which for zero copy is used
