When the vhost-user is reconnecting to the backend, and if the vhost-user fails at the get_features in vhost_dev_init(), then the reconnect will fail and it will not be retriggered forever.
The reason is: When the vhost-user fails at get_features, the vhost_dev_cleanup will be called immediately. vhost_dev_cleanup calls 'memset(hdev, 0, sizeof(struct vhost_dev))'. The reconnect path is: vhost_user_blk_event vhost_user_async_close(.. vhost_user_blk_disconnect ..) qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers <----- clear the notifier callback schedule vhost_user_async_close_bh The vhost->vdev is null, so the vhost_user_blk_disconnect will not be called, then the event fd callback will not be reinstalled. All vhost-user devices have this issue, including vhost-user-blk/scsi. With this patch, if the vdev->vdev is null, the fd callback will still be reinstalled.
