No need to enable rx virtqueue, if we are sure handle_rx() will be

If we disable rx virtqueue in handle_tx and don't send packets from
guest anymore(handle_tx is not called), so we can wake up for sock rx.
so the network is broken.
Not sure I understand here. I mean is we schedule work for handle_rx(),
there's no need to enable it since handle_rx() will do this for us.
Looks like in the last "else" block in vhost_net_busy_poll_check() we
need to enable vq since in that case we have no rx data and handle_rx()
is not scheduled.

Rethink about this, looks not. We enable rx wakeups in this case, so if
there's pending data, handle_rx() will be schedule after
vhost_net_enable_vq().
You are right, but what I wanted to say is vhost_net_enable_vq() should
be needed (I was talking about what would happen if
vhost_net_enable_vq() were removed). Also, I think we should move
vhost_net_enable_vq() from vhost_net_busy_poll() to this last "else"
block because this is the case where rx wakeups is required.
Anyway this part will be refactored so let's see what this code will
look like in next version.


I get your point.

Thanks
