During testing zerocopy (out of order completion), I found driver may
submit two identical buffer id to vhost. So the above code may not work
well.

Consider the case that driver adds 3 buffer and virtqueue size is 8.

a) id = 0,count = 2,next_avail = 2

b) id = 2,count = 4,next_avail = 2
next_avail should be 6 here.

c) id = 4,count = 2,next_avail = 0

id should be 6 here.

Thanks

if packet b is done before packet a, driver may think buffer id 0 is
available and try to use it if even if the real buffer 0 was not done.

Thanks
Nice catch! Thanks a lot!
I'll implement an ID allocator.

Best regards,

Sounds good.

Another similar issue is detac_buf_packed(). It did:

        for (j = 0; j < vq->desc_state[head].num; j++) {
                desc = &vq->vring_packed.desc[i];
                vring_unmap_one_packed(vq, desc);
                i++;
                if (i >= vq->vring_packed.num)
                        i = 0;
        }

This probably won't work for out of order too and according to the spec:

"""
Driver needs to keep track of the size of the list corresponding to each
buffer ID, to be able to skip to where the next used descriptor is written by the device.
"""

Looks like we should not depend on the descriptor ring.

Thanks
