What this patch-set is going to do is to disable scanout mode during guest OS reset, so that Qemu UI (e.g. gtk) can directly use QemuConsole's DisplaySurface instead of guest dma-buf framebuffer during the guest OS reset process. 
gd_egl_draw is invodked when the Qemu UI window gets the focus. If this process is happened during guest OS reboot, gd_egl_scanout_flush() will be invoked (as vc->gfx.scanout_mode==true), which uses guest dma-buf framebuffer. See the following logic in gtk-egl.c:
void gd_egl_draw(VirtualConsole *vc)
{
    GdkWindow *window;
    int ww, wh;

    if (!vc->gfx.gls) {
        return;
    }

    if (vc->gfx.scanout_mode) {
        gd_egl_scanout_flush(&vc->gfx.dcl, 0, 0, vc->gfx.w, vc->gfx.h);
    } else {
        if (!vc->gfx.ds) {
            return;
        }
        eglMakeCurrent(qemu_egl_display, vc->gfx.esurface,
                       vc->gfx.esurface, vc->gfx.ectx);

        window = gtk_widget_get_window(vc->gfx.drawing_area);
        gdk_drawable_get_size(window, &ww, &wh);
        surface_gl_setup_viewport(vc->gfx.gls, vc->gfx.ds, ww, wh);
        surface_gl_render_texture(vc->gfx.gls, vc->gfx.ds);

        eglSwapBuffers(qemu_egl_display, vc->gfx.esurface);
    }
}

Using guest dma-buf framebuffer during guest OS reboot will lead to host GPU hang, as the GGTT is invalid during guest OS reboot.
That's why we want to disable the scanout mode and release all the dma-buf resources during guest OS reset.

After reviewing this patch-set again, I think we might not need the proposed dpy_gfx_switch_surface() any more.
The reason I proposed it was because I thought gfx.ds is changed to the surface related to guest dma-buf framebuffer and we need to switch it with QemuConsole's DisplaySurgface during reset.
But after reviewing the code, vc->gfx.ds is always pointing to the valid QemuConsoles' DisplaySurface. So we don’t need dpy_gfx_switch_surface() to take care of it.
Thanks.

Do you still think updating full display is needed? It seems the existing vfio_display_dmabuf_update can be helpful enough to create a new texture if needed.
Thanks.
