The vhost_scsi example application negotiates the
VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit but does not honor it when accessing
vrings.
In particular, commit e37ff954405addb8ea422426a2d162d00dcad196 ("vhost:
support virtqueue interrupt/notification suppression") broke vring call
because vq->last_used_idx is never updated by vhost_scsi. The
vq->last_used_idx field is not even available via the librte_vhost
public API, so VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX is currently only usable by the
built-in virtio_net.c driver in librte_vhost.
This patch drops VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX from vhost_scsi so that vring
call works again.
