vhost: make SET_VRING_ADDR, SET_FEATURES send replies
On vhost-user-blk migration, qemu normally sends a number of commands to enable logging if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_LOG_SHMFD is negotiated. Qemu sends VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES to enable buffers logging and VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR per each started ring to enable "used ring" data logging. The issue is that qemu doesn't wait for reply from the vhost daemon for these commands which may result in races between qemu expectation of logging starting and actual login starting in vhost daemon. The race can appear as follows: on migration setup, qemu enables dirty page logging by sending VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES. The command doesn't arrive to a vhost-user-blk daemon immediately and the daemon needs some time to turn the logging on internally. If qemu doesn't wait for reply, after sending the command, qemu may start migrateing memory pages to a destination. At this time, the logging may not be actually turned on in the daemon but some guest pages, which the daemon is about to write to, may have already been transferred without logging to the destination. Since the logging wasn't turned on, those pages won't be transferred again as dirty. So we may end up with corrupted data on the destination. The same scenario is applicable for "used ring" data logging, which is turned on with VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR command. To resolve this issue, this patch makes qemu wait for the command result explicitly if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK is negotiated and logging enabled.
