Eli should be able to correct me, but this hw_available_index might just
be a cached value of virtqueue avail_index in the memory from the most
recent sync. I doubt it's the one you talked about in software
implementation. If I understand Eli correctly, hardware will always
reload the latest avail_index from memory whenever it's being sync'ed
again.

<quote>
The hardware always goes to read the available index from memory. The
requirement to configure it when creating a new object is still a
requirement defined by the interface so I must not violate interface
requirments.
</quote>

If the hardware does everything perfectly that is able to flush pending
requests, update descriptors, rings plus used indices all at once before
the suspension, there's no need for hardware to maintain a separate
internal index than the h/w used_index. The hardware can get started
from the saved used_index upon resuming. I view this is of (hardware)
implementation choices and thought it does not violate the virtio spec?

Eli, since it's your hardware, does it work this way? i.e. does the
firmware interface see a case where virtqueue requests can't be
completed before suspending vq?

The saved mvq->avail_idx will be used to recreate hardware virtq object
and the used index in create_virtqueue(), once status DRIVER_OK is set.
I suspect we should pass the index to mvq->used_idx in
mlx5_vdpa_set_vq_state() below instead.
