From: Jianfeng Tan Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2018 03:20:27 +0000 (+0000) Subject: net/virtio-user: fix start with kernel vhost X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bce7e9050f9b;p=dpdk.git net/virtio-user: fix start with kernel vhost After reset owner in below patch, we failed to set owner before sending further vhost messages. It is OK with vhost user implemented DPDK/VPP/Contrail, but it sees "Operation not permitted" error when used with vhost kernel. We fix this by setting owner every time the device is started.
