When a change of memory map occurs, the hardware resources are destroyed and then re-created again with the new memory map. In such case, we need to restore the hardware available and used indices. The driver failed to restore the used index which is added here. Also, since the driver also fails to reset the available and used indices upon device reset, fix this here to avoid regression caused by the fact that used index may not be zero upon device reset.

However, the thing is get_vq_state() is supposed to be called right after to get sync'ed with the latest internal avail_index from device while vq is stopped. The index was saved in the driver software at vq suspension, but before the virtq object is destroyed. We shouldn't clear the avail_index too early.Good point. There's a limitation on the virtio spec and vDPA framework that we can not simply differ device suspending from device reset.Are you talking about live migration where you reset the device but still want to know how far it progressed in order to continue from the same place in the new VM?Yes. So if we want to support live migration at we need: in src node: 1) suspend the device 2) get last_avail_idx via get_vq_state() in the dst node: 3) set last_avail_idx via set_vq_state() 4) resume the device So you can see, step 2 requires the device/driver not to forget the last_avail_idx.Just to be sure, what really matters here is the used index. Becuase the vriqtueue itself is copied from the src VM to the dest VM. The available index is alreay there and we know the hardware reads it from there.So for "last_avail_idx" I meant the hardware internal avail index. It's not stored in the virtqueue so we must migrate it from src to dest and set them through set_vq_state(). Then in the destination, the virtqueue can be restarted from that index.Consider this case: driver posted buffers till avail index becomes the value 50. Hardware is executing but made it till 20 when virtqueue was suspended due to live migration - this is indicated by hardware used index equal 20.So in this case the used index in the virtqueue should be 20? Otherwise we need not sync used index itself but all the used entries that is not committed to the used ring.
In other word, for mlx5 vdpa there's no such internal last_avail_idx stuff maintained by the hardware, right? And the used_idx in the virtqueue is always in sync with the hardware used_index, and hardware is supposed to commit pending used buffers to the ring while bumping up the hardware used_index (and also committed to memory) altogether prior to suspension, is my understanding correct here? Double checking if this is the expected semantics of what modify_virtqueue(MLX5_VIRTIO_NET_Q_OBJECT_STATE_SUSPEND) should achieve. If the above is true, then it looks to me for mlx5 vdpa we should really return h/w used_idx rather than the last_avail_idx through get_vq_state(), in order to reconstruct the virt queue state post live migration. For the set_map case, the internal last_avail_idx really doesn't matter, although both indices are saved and restored transparently as-is. -Siwei

Now the vritqueue is copied to the new VM and the hardware now has to continue execution from index 20. We need to tell the hardware via configuring the last used_index.If the hardware can not sync the index from the virtqueue, the driver can do the synchronization by make the last_used_idx equals to used index in the virtqueue. Thanksquoted
So why don't we restore the used index?quoted

So it puzzles me why is set_vq_state() we do not communicate the saved used index.We don't do that since: 1) if the hardware can sync its internal used index from the virtqueue during device, then we don't need it 2) if the hardware can not sync its internal used index, the driver (e.g as you did here) can do that. But there's no way for the hardware to deduce the internal avail index from the virtqueue, that's why avail index is sycned. Thanks
