[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vhost: secure vhost shared log files using argv paremeter

[Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>]

Commit 31190ed7 added a migration blocker in vhost_dev_init() to
check if memfd would succeed. It is better if this blocker first
checks if vhost backend requires shared log. This will avoid a
situation where a blocker is added inappropriately (e.g. shared
log allocation fails when vhost backend doesn't support it).
