Hi Michael,

The queue reset code is wrote with the CONFIG_VIRTIO_HARDEN_NOTIFICATION.

When we disable the vq, the broken is true until we re-enable it.

So when we re-enable it fail, the vq is broken status.

Normally, this just happens on the buggy device.
So I think that is enough.

Thanks.


	static int vp_modern_disable_vq_and_reset(struct virtqueue *vq)
	{
		[...]

		vp_modern_set_queue_reset(mdev, vq->index);

		[...]

	#ifdef CONFIG_VIRTIO_HARDEN_NOTIFICATION
->>		__virtqueue_break(vq);
	#endif

		[...]
	}

	static int vp_modern_enable_vq_after_reset(struct virtqueue *vq)
	{
		[...]

		if (vp_modern_get_queue_reset(mdev, index))
			return -EBUSY;

		if (vp_modern_get_queue_enable(mdev, index))
			return -EBUSY;

		err = vp_active_vq(vq, info->msix_vector);
		if (err)
			return err;

		}

		[...]

	#ifdef CONFIG_VIRTIO_HARDEN_NOTIFICATION
->>		__virtqueue_unbreak(vq);
	#endif

		[...]
	}
