While virtq is stopped, get_vq_state() is supposed to

b35ccebe3ef7 introduced the clear_virtqueues() routine
to reset the saved avail_index, however, the index
gets cleared a bit earlier before get_vq_state() tries
to read it. This would cause consistency problems when
virtq is restarted, e.g. through a series of link down
and link up events. We could defer the clearing of
avail_index to until the device is to be started,
i.e. until VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK is set again in
set_status().
Not sure I understand the scenario. You are talking about reset of the
device followed by up/down events on the interface. How can you trigger
this?
Currently it's not possible to trigger link up/down events with upstream
QEMU due lack of config/control interrupt implementation. And live
migration could be another scenario that cannot be satisfied because of
inconsistent queue state. They share the same root of cause as captured
here.
