When first attempt to configure a device with RX interrupt enabled fails for some reason (e.g. because "Multiple intr vector not supported"), second attempt to configure the device with RX interrupt disabled and feature set unchanged will succeed but will leave virtio queues not allocated. Accessing the queues will cause a segfault.
First attempt: - virtio_dev_configure() - virtio_init_device() is called to reinit the device because "dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.rxq" is "1" - virtio_configure_intr() fails and returns an error - virtio_free_queues() frees previously allocated virtio queues - virtio_init_device() fails and returns an error - virtio_dev_configure() fails and returns an error Second attempt: - virtio_dev_configure() - This time virtio_init_device() is not called, virtio queues are not allocated With this fix, reinit the device during configuration if virtio queues are not allocated.
