> Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix crash on reconnect
> 
> When the vhost-user frontend like Virtio-user tries to
> reconnect to the restarted Vhost backend, the Vhost backend
> segfaults when multiqueue is enabled.
> 
> This is caused by VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE being called for
> a virtqueue that has not been created before, causing a NULL
> pointer dereferencing.
> 
> This patch adds the VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE requests to
> the list of requests that trigger queue pair allocations.
> 
> Fixes: 160cbc815b41 ("vhost: remove a hack on queue allocation")
