Maybe it's better to only enable cvq when the backend supports
VHOST_BACKEND_F_ENABLE_AFTER_DRIVER_OK. Eugenio, any comment on this?

As discussed, without VHOST_BACKEND_F_ENABLE_AFTER_DRIVER_OK, we don't
know if parents can do vq_ready after driver_ok.

So maybe we need to keep this behaviour to unbreak some "legacy" userspace?

For example ifcvf did:

static void ifcvf_vdpa_set_vq_ready(struct vdpa_device *vdpa_dev,
                                    u16 qid, bool ready)
{
  struct ifcvf_hw *vf = vdpa_to_vf(vdpa_dev);

        ifcvf_set_vq_ready(vf, qid, ready);
}

And it did:

void ifcvf_set_vq_ready(struct ifcvf_hw *hw, u16 qid, bool ready)
{
        struct virtio_pci_common_cfg __iomem *cfg = hw->common_cfg;

        vp_iowrite16(qid, &cfg->queue_select);
        vp_iowrite16(ready, &cfg->queue_enable);
}

Though it didn't advertise VHOST_BACKEND_F_ENABLE_AFTER_DRIVER_OK?

Adding LingShan for more thought.

Thanks
