Halil Pasic cda8bba0f9 vhost: fix initialization for vq->is_le ... Currently, under certain circumstances vhost_init_is_le does just a part of the initialization job, and depends on vhost_reset_is_le being called too. For this reason vhost_vq_init_access used to call vhost_reset_is_le when vq->private_data is NULL. This is not only counter intuitive, but also real a problem because it breaks vhost_net. The bug was introduced to vhost_net with commit 2751c9882b ("vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices"). The symptom is corruption of the vq's used.idx field (virtio) after VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND was issued as a part of the vhost shutdown on a vq with pending descriptors. Let us make sure the outcome of vhost_init_is_le never depend on the state it is actually supposed to initialize, and fix virtio_net by removing the reset from vhost_vq_init_access. With the above, there is no reason for vhost_reset_is_le to do just half of the job. Let us make vhost_reset_is_le reinitialize is_le.
