From 04d81227960b5c1cf2f11f492100979ead20c526 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhiyong Yang Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:41:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vhost: workaround MQ fails to startup vhost since dpdk17.02 + qemu2.7 and above will cause failures of new connection when negotiating to set MQ. (one queue pair works well). Because there exist some bugs in qemu code when introducing VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK to qemu. when dealing with the vhost message VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE for the second time, qemu indeed doesn't send the messge (The message needs to be sent only once)but still will be waiting for dpdk's reply ack, then, qemu is always freezing. DPDK code indeed works in the right way. The feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK has to be disabled by default at the dpdk side in order to avoid the feature support of DPDK + qemu at the same time. if doing like that, MQ can works well.
