> Subject: [PATCH v2] net/vhost: fix deadlock on vring state change
>
> If vring state changes after pmd starts working, the locked vring
> notifies pmd, thus calling update_queuing_status(), the latter
> will wait for pmd to finish accessing vring, while pmd is also
> waiting for vring to be unlocked, thus causing deadlock.
>
> Actually, update_queuing_status() only needs to wait while
> destroy/stopping the device, but not in other cases.
>
> This patch adds a flag for whether or not to wait to fix this issue.
