Thanks for working on this.
My DPDK VDUSE RFC missed to set the interrupt, as Xuan Zhou highlighted
it makes the vdpa dev add/del commands to freeze:
[<0>] device_del+0x37/0x3d0
[<0>] device_unregister+0x13/0x60
[<0>] unregister_virtio_device+0x11/0x20
[<0>] device_release_driver_internal+0x193/0x200
[<0>] bus_remove_device+0xbf/0x130
[<0>] device_del+0x174/0x3d0
[<0>] device_unregister+0x13/0x60
[<0>] vdpa_nl_cmd_dev_del_set_doit+0x66/0xe0 [vdpa]
[<0>] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.0+0xb8/0x100
[<0>] genl_rcv_msg+0x151/0x290
[<0>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x54/0x100
[<0>] genl_rcv+0x24/0x40
[<0>] netlink_unicast+0x217/0x340
[<0>] netlink_sendmsg+0x23e/0x4a0
[<0>] sock_sendmsg+0x8f/0xa0
[<0>] __sys_sendto+0xfc/0x170
[<0>] __x64_sys_sendto+0x20/0x30
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x59/0x90
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

Once fixed on DPDK side (you can use my vduse_v1 branch [0] for
testing), it works fine:

Tested-by: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>

For the potential missing interrupt with non-compliant devices, I guess
it could be handled with the hardening work as same thing could happen
if the VDUSE application crashed for example.

Regards,
Maxime
