In the current design, we stop the device from operating on the vring
 during per-queue reset by resetting the structure VirtQueue.

 But before the reset operation, when recycling some resources, we should
 stop referencing new vring resources. For example, when recycling
 virtio-net's asynchronous sending resources, virtio-net should be able
 to perceive that the current queue is in the per-queue reset state, and
 stop sending new packets from the tx queue.

Reset state makes no sense. It seems to imply queue_reset
in the spec. And for extra fun there's "reset" in the pci
proxy which means "virtio_queue_reset is in progress" - I have no
idea what uses it though - it is not guest visible.  First what is it?
It actually means "queue has been reset and not has not been enabled since".
So disabled_by_reset maybe?

Second this hack helps make the change minimal
so it's helpful for stable, but it's ugly in that it
duplicates the reverse of enabled value - we don't really
care what disabled it in practice.

With the fixups above I can apply so it's easier to backport, but later
a patch on top should clean it all up, perhaps by adding
"enabled" in VirtQueue. We should also get rid of "reset" in the proxy
unless there's some way it's useful which I don't currently see.

In fact, when reading this, the queue has not been reset,
so prepare_for_reset?

I have some confusion, I don't understand what you mean.

Why did we remove the "reset" in the proxy?

I agree to rename the "reset".

Thanks.

Makes it sound like it's some kind of temporary state where
it is not - it will stay like this until enabled.
As this makes no practical difference that it is set to
early, just set it later for consistency.

We did not but we should.
Why we should remove "reset" in the proxy?
Because guest can never read it as != 0:

    case VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_Q_RESET:
        if (val == 1) {
            proxy->vqs[vdev->queue_sel].reset = 1;

            virtio_queue_reset(vdev, vdev->queue_sel);

            proxy->vqs[vdev->queue_sel].reset = 0;
            proxy->vqs[vdev->queue_sel].enabled = 0;
        }
        break;

from guest's POV reset is atomic and so does not need
a variable to track state.
