Will have a look at this issue.

I still think zeroing flags is unnecessary or even a bug. At host, I
track last observed avail wrap counter and detect avail like (what is
suggested in the example code in the spec):

static bool desc_is_avail(struct vhost_virtqueue *vq, __virtio16 flags)
{
       bool avail = flags & cpu_to_vhost16(vq, DESC_AVAIL);

       return avail == vq->avail_wrap_counter;
}

So zeroing wrap can not work with this obviously.

Thanks
