For each device it should have one otherwise it won't work correctly 
during stop/resume. See the codes mlx5_vdpa_get_vq_state() which calls 
query_virtqueue() that build commands to query "last_avail_idx" from the 
hardware:

     MLX5_SET(general_obj_in_cmd_hdr, cmd_hdr, opcode, 
MLX5_CMD_OP_QUERY_GENERAL_OBJECT);
     MLX5_SET(general_obj_in_cmd_hdr, cmd_hdr, obj_type, 
MLX5_OBJ_TYPE_VIRTIO_NET_Q);
     MLX5_SET(general_obj_in_cmd_hdr, cmd_hdr, obj_id, mvq->virtq_id);
     MLX5_SET(general_obj_in_cmd_hdr, cmd_hdr, uid, ndev->mvdev.res.uid);
     err = mlx5_cmd_exec(ndev->mvdev.mdev, in, sizeof(in), out, outlen);
     if (err)
         goto err_cmd;

     obj_context = MLX5_ADDR_OF(query_virtio_net_q_out, out, obj_context);
     memset(attr, 0, sizeof(*attr));
     attr->state = MLX5_GET(virtio_net_q_object, obj_context, state);
     attr->available_index = MLX5_GET(virtio_net_q_object, obj_context, 
hw_available_index);

Right, a subtle thing here is that: for the device that might have can't 
not complete all virtqueue requests during vq suspending, the 
"last_avail_idx" might not be equal to the hardware used_idx. Thing 
might be true for the storage devices that needs to connect to a remote 
backend. But this is not the case of networking device, so 
last_avail_idx should be equal to hardware used_idx here. But using the 
"last_avail_idx" or hardware avail_idx should always be better in this 
case since it's guaranteed to correct and will have less confusion. We 
use this convention in other types of vhost backends (vhost-kernel, 
vhost-user).

So looking at mlx5_set_vq_state(), it probably won't work since it 
doesn't not set either hardware avail_idx or hardware used_idx:

static int mlx5_vdpa_set_vq_state(struct vdpa_device *vdev, u16 idx,
                   const struct vdpa_vq_state *state)
{
     struct mlx5_vdpa_dev *mvdev = to_mvdev(vdev);
     struct mlx5_vdpa_net *ndev = to_mlx5_vdpa_ndev(mvdev);
     struct mlx5_vdpa_virtqueue *mvq = &ndev->vqs[idx];

     if (mvq->fw_state == MLX5_VIRTIO_NET_Q_OBJECT_STATE_RDY) {
         mlx5_vdpa_warn(mvdev, "can't modify available index\n");
         return -EINVAL;
     }

     mvq->avail_idx = state->avail_index;
     return 0;
}

Depends on the hardware, we should either set hardware used_idx or 
hardware avail_idx here.

I think we need to clarify how device is supposed to work in the virtio 
spec.
