This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared
buffer between qemu and backend.

Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the
shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back
through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user.

This shared buffer is used to process inflight I/O when backend
reconnect.

Shouldn't -1 be returned here also?
I think this function should be called only if the feature negotiation
succeeded.

Returning an error here would help the calling application to know
something went wrong.

Same comment applies for the clear function.

Are above functions supposed to be called in the hot path?
If so, you might want to use unlikely for the error checks
everywhere.

counter and resubmit are too generic names.

Do you have some code example using these new APIs?
It would help for reviewing the patch.

I just submitted SPDK-related patches, and you will see how to use new API.

SPDK is another separate project. For the DPDK APIs introduced
in this patch, it would be great to have an example in DPDK to
demonstrate their usage, e.g. examples/vhost_scsi. Besides, the
new APIs also need to take the packed ring into consideration.

Thanks,
Tiwei

The patch does not apply to SCSI ,and disconnection can cause a
timeout problem in SCSI.
To disconnection, scsi driver have a different process.
This patch is only valid for vhost blk.
The use of new two messages and the implementation of packed queue are
described in docs/vhost-user.txt.

You're right. I'll modify it in the next version.

This patch is only valid for vhost blk. 
The use of new two messages and the implementation of packed queue are
described in docs/vhost-user.txt.

I have submitted SPDK-related patches to use new API.

This does not seem vhost-blk specifics, otherwise the requests names
would reflect that and it should live in spdk only as we have worked
with the spdk team so that they can handle their specific requests 
directly in their lib.

This new feature is for backends handling the ring out-of-order,
including vhost-blk.

Thanks, that's now in QEMU's docs/interop/vhost-user.rst

Regarding packed ring, I understand you don't want to implement it now.
However, the new rte_vhost APIs you introduce need to specify it is
split-ring only in their names, or find a way to to make the API generic
but it seems difficult.

Regarding the feature, I wonder whether it could also be useful in case
of in-order handling to recover from crashes. Maybe not for split ring 
where we have some workarounds since we can get the info from the rings,
but more for packed ring, where the wrap counter values aren't saved
anywhere except the backend.
