Qemu2.7~2.9 and vhost user for dpdk 17.02 release work together
to cause failures of new connection when negotiating to set MQ.
(one queue pair works well).
   Because there exist some bugs in qemu code when introducing
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK to qemu. When vhost_user_set_mem_table
is invoked to deal with the vhost message VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE
for the second time, qemu indeed doesn't send the messge (The message
needs to be sent only once)but still will be waiting for dpdk's reply
ack, then, qemu is always freezing, while DPDK is always waiting for
next vhost message from qemu.
  The patch aims to fix the bug, MQ can work well.
  The same bug is found in function vhost_user_net_set_mtu, it is fixed
at the same time.
  DPDK related patch is as following:
  http://www.dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/23955/

I personally prefer the fix I suggested in the DPDK mail thread, as
returning a random positive value does look like a workaround:

"
I think the problem must be fixed generally and not per request.
Maybe in vhost_user_write() if one-time request, just clear the
VHOST_USER_NEED_REPLY flag. Then, in process_message_reply(), return
early if this flag isn't set.

I think that for vhost_user_write(), it's behaving in a different way for some specific vhost messages.  
So, it should not return the same returen value 0 which stands for success.

It's another choise. Either this one nor that one,  not a big deal. :)
Fixing these  existing bugs is the most important.

But you need to do the special handling for every caller.

While the suggestion from Maxime would work transparently, similar to
one-time request are transparent to caller today. I also prefer that
solution.

Hi,  Maxime, Marc-André Lureau:

Thank you a lot for your suggestions and I’m agree with you. I will send V2 later according to
Maxime’s suggested change.

Thanks
