+Subject: [PATCH] virtio: zero vq->inuse in virtio_reset()
+
+vq->inuse must be zeroed upon device reset like most other virtqueue
+fields.
+
+In theory, virtio_reset() just needs assert(vq->inuse == 0) since
+devices must clean up in-flight requests during reset (requests cannot
+not be leaked!).
+
+In practice, it is difficult to achieve vq->inuse == 0 across reset
+because balloon, blk, 9p, etc implement various different strategies for
+cleaning up requests. Most devices call g_free(elem) directly without
+telling virtio.c that the VirtQueueElement is cleaned up. Therefore
+vq->inuse is not decremented during reset.
+
+This patch zeroes vq->inuse and trusts that devices are not leaking
+VirtQueueElements across reset.
+
+I will send a follow-up series that refactors request life-cycle across
+all devices and converts vq->inuse = 0 into assert(vq->inuse == 0) but
+this more invasive approach is not appropriate for stable trees.
