Subject: [PATCH] vhost: keep vring addresses stable while the backend is attached
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:17:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919131744.131030-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)

vhost-scsi keeps the response and bounce-buffer iovecs until the backend
completes the command.  If userspace changes the vring addresses while the
command is in flight, the completion data is copied through the old iovecs
while vhost_add_used() updates the new used ring.  The guest then no longer
sees the completion.

Reject changes to the vring addresses while a backend is attached to the
queue.  Keep accepting the current addresses so userspace can update
VHOST_VRING_F_LOG or log_guest_addr without stopping the backend.  Queues
that have not been attached retain the existing setup behavior; userspace
must detach the backend before changing their addresses.

Fixes: 057cbf49a1f0 ("tcm_vhost: Initial merge for vhost level target fabric driver")
