Zeroing the flags when detaching a used desc will > break the guest -> host path. 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.
