From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.h...@de.ibm.com> Switching to vring caches exposed an existing bug in virtio_queue_set_notification(): We can't access vring structures if they have not been set up yet. This may happen, for example, for virtio-blk devices with multiple queues: The code will try to switch notifiers for every queue, but the guest may have only set up a subset of them.
Fix this by guarding access to the vring memory by checking for vring.desc. The first aio poll will iron out any remaining inconsistencies for later-configured queues (buggy legacy drivers).
