Vhost did not reset properly the batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE event. Because of that, is possible to return an invalid descriptor to the guest. This series ammend this, resetting them every time backend changes, and creates a test to assert correct behavior. To do that, they need to expose a new function in virtio_ring, virtqueue_reset_free_head, only on test code. Another useful thing would be to check if mutex is properly get in vq private_data accessors. Not sure if mutex debug code allow that, similar to C++ unique lock::owns_lock. Not acquiring in the function because caller code holds the mutex in order to perform more actions. v4: * Rebase with vhost_iotlb changes. v3: * Rename accesors functions. * Make scsi and test use the accesors too. v2: * Squashed commits. * Create vq private_data accesors (mst).
