Yes, fixed it already. I might change it to PAGE_SIZE for now since the
small message sizes regression issue.

VHOST_MAX_PEND (which is 128) should prevent it from overrun normally.
In the case of none DMAs can be done, the maximum entries are the ring
size, which is much smaller or equal to UIO_MAXIOV for current
implementation.
Maybe I should add some condition check if it is overrun then exits?

I thought about it before: if error after macvtap skb is allocated, then
that skb has a callback which will set DMA done for add_used, if the
error before macvtap skb is allocated, then it can reverse as copy case.
To avoid the complexity check, I decided to not handle it.

We signal all outstand DMAs in the case of driver has some DMA issue to
prevent us from shutting down. I am afraid vhost cleanup could wait
forever.

No used buffers to guest, should we signal still?

Worried about what if the driver has some DMAs issue, which would
prevent vhost from shutting down.

It is also used in skb vhost zerocopy callback.

Yes, you are right. Should change it to: upend_idx is used to track
vring ids for outstanding zero-copy DMA buffers?
