Sorry, looks like the following should work, we need add vq.num if 
used_wrap_counter does not match:

static bool vhost_vring_packed_need_event(struct vhost_virtqueue *vq,
                       __u16 off_wrap, __u16 new,
                       __u16 old)
{
     bool wrap = off_wrap >> 15;
     int off = off_wrap & ~(1 << 15);
     __u16 d1, d2;

     if (wrap != vq->used_wrap_counter)
         d1 = new + vq->num - off - 1;
     else
         d1 = new - off - 1;

     if (new > old)
         d2 = new - old;
     else
         d2 = new + vq->num - old;

     return d1 < d2;
}

Thanks
