Applying 3009edff81 to qemu-5.1.0 should do the trick. I'm attaching
the patch to this email, so you can simply apply it with something
like:

patch -p1 < 0001-vhost-user-fix-VHOST_USER_ADD-REM_MEM_REG-truncation.patch

Subject: [PATCH] vhost-user: fix VHOST_USER_ADD/REM_MEM_REG truncation

QEMU currently truncates the mmap_offset field when sending
VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG and VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG messages. The struct
layout looks like this:

  typedef struct VhostUserMemoryRegion {
      uint64_t guest_phys_addr;
      uint64_t memory_size;
      uint64_t userspace_addr;
      uint64_t mmap_offset;
  } VhostUserMemoryRegion;

  typedef struct VhostUserMemRegMsg {
      uint32_t padding;
      /* WARNING: there is a 32-bit hole here! */
      VhostUserMemoryRegion region;
  } VhostUserMemRegMsg;

The payload size is calculated as follows when sending the message in
hw/virtio/vhost-user.c:

  msg->hdr.size = sizeof(msg->payload.mem_reg.padding) +
      sizeof(VhostUserMemoryRegion);

This calculation produces an incorrect result of only 36 bytes.
sizeof(VhostUserMemRegMsg) is actually 40 bytes.

The consequence of this is that the final field, mmap_offset, is
truncated. This breaks x86_64 TCG guests on s390 hosts. Other guest/host
combinations may get lucky if either of the following holds:
1. The guest memory layout does not need mmap_offset != 0.
2. The host is little-endian and mmap_offset <= 0xffffffff so the
   truncation has no effect.

Fix this by extending the existing 32-bit padding field to 64-bit. Now
the padding reflects the actual compiler padding. This can be verified
using pahole(1).

Also document the layout properly in the vhost-user specification.  The
vhost-user spec did not document the exact layout. It would be
impossible to implement the spec without looking at the QEMU source
code.

Existing vhost-user frontends and device backends continue to work after
this fix has been applied. The only change in the wire protocol is that
QEMU now sets hdr.size to 40 instead of 36. If a vhost-user
implementation has a hardcoded size check for 36 bytes, then it will
fail with new QEMUs. Both QEMU and DPDK/SPDK don't check the exact
payload size, so they continue to work.
