What isn't implemented?
Spec is quite explicit:
Client must only process each ring when it is started.
Client must only pass data between the ring and the
backend, when the ring is enabled.
and later:
Client must start ring upon receiving a kick (that is, detecting that file
descriptor is readable) on the descriptor specified by
VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_KICK, and stop ring upon receiving
VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE.
Does someone kick unused rings? What entity does this?
