Hi Shirley,
These patches look quite close. More review to follow :)
This title needs revision. It should start with virtio: (all the virtio
patches do, for easy identification after merge), eg:
Subject: virtio: Add destroy callback for unused buffers
It also needs a commit message which explains the problem and the solution.
Something like this:
There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused
buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown.
This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So
add a new hook to do this: virtio_net will be the first user.

This belongs in one of the future patches: it will cause an unused warning
and is logically not part of this patch anyway.

unsigned int for return and freed counter? Means changing prototype, but
negative return isn't useful here.

You could simplify this a bit, since the queue must be inactive:
destroy(vq->data[i]);
detach_buf(vq, i);
freed++;

Perhaps add a:
/* That should have freed everything. */
BUG_ON(vq->num_free != vq->vring.num)

destory typo :)
