I've checked current dpdk code.
It seems we've already checked invalid flag like below.
if (pmsg->payload.u64 & VHOST_USER_VRING_NOFD_MASK)
file.fd = -1;
else
file.fd = pmsg->fds[0];
So how about adding below macros or enum?
#define VIRTIO_UNINITIALIZED_EVENTFD (-2)
#define VIRTIO_INVALID_EVENTFD (-1)
I am still not sure whether using enum is better or not.
But here is one of example patch.
What do you think?
