On vhost-user-blk migration, qemu normally sends a number of commands
to enable logging if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_LOG_SHMFD is negotiated.
Qemu sends VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES to enable buffers logging and
VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR per each started ring to enable "used ring"
data logging.
The issue is that qemu doesn't wait for reply from the vhost daemon
for these commands which may result in races between qemu expectation
of logging starting and actual login starting in vhost daemon.
The race can appear as follows: on migration setup, qemu enables dirty page
logging by sending VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES. The command doesn't arrive to a
vhost-user-blk daemon immediately and the daemon needs some time to turn the
logging on internally. If qemu doesn't wait for reply, after sending the
command, qemu may start migrate memory pages to a destination. At this time,
the logging may not be actually turned on in the daemon but some guest pages,
which the daemon is about to write to, may have already been transferred
without logging to the destination. Since the logging wasn't turned on,
those pages won't be transferred again as dirty. So we may end up with
corrupted data on the destination.
The same scenario is applicable for "used ring" data logging, which is
turned on with VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR command.
To resolve this issue, this patch makes qemu wait for the commands result
explicilty if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK is negotiated.
