Subject: [PATCH] vhost-net: support VIRTIO_F_RING_RESET
Add VIRTIO_F_RING_RESET, which indicates that the driver can reset a
queue individually.
VIRTIO_F_RING_RESET feature is added to virtio-spec 1.2. The relevant
information is in
oasis-tcs/virtio-spec#124
oasis-tcs/virtio-spec#139
The implementation only adds the feature bit in supported features. It
does not require any other changes because we reuse the existing vhost
protocol.
The virtqueue reset process can be concluded as two parts:
1. The driver can reset a virtqueue. When it is triggered, we use the
set_backend to disable the virtqueue.
2. After the virtqueue is disabled, the driver may optionally re-enable
it. The process is basically similar to when the device is started,
except that the restart process does not need to set features and set
mem table since they do not change. QEMU will send messages containing
size, base, addr, kickfd and callfd of the virtqueue in order.
Specifically, the host kernel will receive these messages in order:
a. VHOST_SET_VRING_NUM
b. VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE
c. VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR
d. VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK
e. VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL
f. VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND
Finally, after we use set_backend to attach the virtqueue, the virtqueue
will be enabled and start to work.

Test environment and method:
Host: 5.19.0-rc3
Qemu: QEMU emulator version 7.0.50 (With vq rset support)
Guest: 5.19.0-rc3 (With vq reset support)
Test Cmd: ethtool -g eth1; ethtool -G eth1 rx $1 tx $2; ethtool -g eth1;
The drvier can resize the virtio queue, then virtio queue reset function should
be triggered.
The default is split mode, modify Qemu virtio-net to add PACKED feature to
test packed mode.
