[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] vhost: do not realloc device and queues during running

[Tiwei Bie]

When the device has been started, don't do the reallocation anymore.
Otherwise the pointers used in application threads can be invalidated
without proper protection. Instead of introducing a global lock to
protect the change of device pointers which will hurt the performance,
let's just do the reallocation during setup.

Fixes: af295ad4698c ("vhost: realloc device and queues to same numa node as vring desc")
