From: Prerna Saxena <prerna.saxena@nutanix.com>

This introduces the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK.

If negotiated, client applications should send a u64 payload in
response to any message that contains the "need_reply" bit set
on the message flags. Setting the payload to "zero" indicates the
command finished successfully. Likewise, setting it to "non-zero"
indicates an error.

Currently implemented only for SET_MEM_TABLE.

Other than that, looks good to me, with those fixes

Rather than make this parenthetical, I would go with:

The payload should be set to zero on success or non-zero on failure,
unless the message already has an explicit reply body.

Reads awkwardly; maybe:

The response payload gives QEMU a deterministic indication of the result
of the command.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for taking a look, but I think you possibly missed the latest patchset posted last night.
This had already been incorporated in v6 that I’d posted last night before your message.
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-07/msg06772.html

Hmm, it is more of personal taste, so I’ll refrain from commenting either way.

The last 3 iterations of this patchset have only seen review comments focussed on documentation suggestions and indentation of code, but nothing on the idea/code itself. This gives me hope that the patch is possibly close to merging within 2.7 timeframe :-)
May I request the maintainers to please correct this tiny spelling typo as this is checked in?

Regards,
Prerna

I prefer Eric's form too. "that ... or not" isn't very clear.

Probably easier to post v7 with above minor things.
