[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] vhost: avoid to start/stop virtqueue which is not ready

[Jia He <hejianet@gmail.com>]

In our Armv8a server, we try to configure the vhost scsi but fail
to boot up the guest (-machine virt-2.10). The guest's boot failure
is very early, even earlier than grub.

There are 3 virtqueues (ctrl, event and cmd) for virtio scsi device,
but ovmf and seabios will only set the physical address for the 3rd
one (cmd). Then in vhost_virtqueue_start(), virtio_queue_get_desc_addr
will be 0 for ctrl and event vq when qemu negotiates with ovmf. So
vhost_memory_map fails with ENOMEM.

This patch just fixs it by early quitting the virtqueue start/stop
when virtio_queue_get_desc_addr is 0.

Btw, after guest kernel starts, all the 3 queues will be initialized
and set address correctly.

Already tested on Arm64 and X86_64 qemu.
