When the Qemu launched with vhost but without tap vnet_hdr, vhost tries to copy vnet_hdr from socket iter with size 0 to the page that may contain some trash. That trash can be interpreted as unpredictable values for vnet_hdr. That leads to dropping some packets and in some cases to stalling vhost routine when the vhost_net tries to process packets and fails in a loop. Qemu options: -netdev tap,vhost=on,vnet_hdr=off,...

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.
