Starting from an used_idx different than 0 is needed in use cases like virtual machine migration. Not doing so and letting the caller set an avail idx different than 0 causes destination device to try to use old buffers that source driver already recover and are not available anymore. Since vdpa_sim does not support receive inflight descriptors as a destination of a migration, let's set both avail_idx and used_idx the same at vq start. This is how vhost-user works in a VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE call. Although the simple fix is to set last_used_idx at vdpasim_set_vq_state, it would be reset at vdpasim_queue_ready. The last_avail_idx case is fixed with commit0e84f918fa("vdpa_sim: not reset state in vdpasim_queue_ready"). Since the only option is to make it equal to last_avail_idx, adding the only change needed here. This was discovered and tested live migrating the vdpa_sim_net device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
