Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] vhost: Reset batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE call

Vhost did not reset properly the batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE
event. Because of that, is possible to return an invalid descriptor to
the guest.

This series ammend this, resetting them every time backend changes, and
creates a test to assert correct behavior. To do that, they need to
expose a new function in virtio_ring, virtqueue_reset_free_head, only
on test code.

Another useful thing would be to check if mutex is properly get in
vq private_data accessors. Not sure if mutex debug code allow that,
similar to C++ unique lock::owns_lock. Not acquiring in the function
because caller code holds the mutex in order to perform more actions.

v3:
* Rename accesors functions.
* Make scsi and test use the accesors too.

v2:
* Squashed commits.
* Create vq private_data accesors (mst).

This is meant to be applied on top of
c4f1c41a6094582903c75c0dcfacb453c959d457 in
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost.git.

Eugenio Pérez (5):
  vhost: Create accessors for virtqueues private_data
  tools/virtio: Add --batch option
  tools/virtio: Add --batch=random option
  tools/virtio: Add --reset=random
  tools/virtio: Make --reset reset ring idx

Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
  vhost: option to fetch descriptors through an independent struct
  vhost: use batched version by default
  vhost: batching fetches
