Subject: Re: [PATCH] vhost: keep vring addresses stable while the backend is attached
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 13:29:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919132958.CFA071F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)

> vhost-scsi keeps the response and bounce-buffer iovecs until the backend
> completes the command.  If userspace changes the vring addresses while the
> command is in flight, the completion data is copied through the old iovecs
> while vhost_add_used() updates the new used ring.  The guest then no longer
> sees the completion.
> 
> Reject changes to the vring addresses while a backend is attached to the
> queue.  Keep accepting the current addresses so userspace can update
> VHOST_VRING_F_LOG or log_guest_addr without stopping the backend.  Queues
> that have not been attached retain the existing setup behavior; userspace
> must detach the backend before changing their addresses.
