Thanks for the review!

Yes, I started an SMP guest (-smp 4 -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait)
and I run these scripts to stress the .probe()/.remove() path:

- guest
while true; do
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock -l 4321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock -l 5321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock -l 6321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock -l 7321 > /dev/null &
wait
done

- host
while true; do
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock 3 4321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock 3 5321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock 3 6321 > /dev/null &
cat /dev/urandom | nc-vsock 3 7321 > /dev/null &
sleep 2
echo "device_del v1" | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
sleep 1
echo "device_add vhost-vsock-pci,id=v1,guest-cid=3" | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
sleep 1
done

Do you think is enough or is better to have a test more accurate?

Thanks,
Stefano
