Subject: [PATCH 0/6] vhost: Reset batched descriptors on SET_VRING_BASE call

From: Eugenio Pérez <[email-masked]>

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, 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. Not sure if this can be avoided.

Also, change from https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/27/108 is not included, that avoids to update a variable in a loop where it can be updated once.

This is meant to be applied on top of eccb852f1fe6bede630e2e4f1a121a81e34354ab in git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost.git, and some commits should be squashed with that series.
