virtio pci device reset actually just does an I/O
write, which in PCI is really posted, that is it
can complete on CPU before the device has received it.Further, interrupts might have been pending on
another CPU, so device callback might get invoked after reset.This conflicts with how drivers use reset, which is typically:
reset
unregister
a callback running after reset completed can race with
unregister, potentially leading to use after free bugs.Fix by flushing out the write, and flushing pending interrupts.
This assumes that device is never reset from
its vq/config callbacks, or in parallel with being
added/removed, document this assumption.Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Add a new .bus_name to virtio_config_ops then modify virtio_net to
call through to it in an ethtool .get_drvinfo routine to report
bus_info in ethtool -i output which is consistent with other
emulated NICs and the output of lspci.Signed-off-by: Rick Jones

This patch adds virtio_config_val_len() which allows retrieving variable

It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my
technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to
slow virtio adoption.I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for
BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the
controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes
it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the
condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if
the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields
true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the
whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make arch/sparc/include/asm/vio.h compile]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: more nonsensical assertions in tpm.c..]

I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12
months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right.Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher.

Drivers don't add transport features to their table, so we
shouldn't check these with virtio_check_driver_offered_feature().We could perhaps add an ->offered_feature() virtio_config_op,
but that perhaps that would be overkill for a consitency check
like this.Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin

Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just
hand the virtio_device and have it set the features. This make it clear
that it has the chance to manipulate the features of the device at this
point (and that all feature negotiation is already done).Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Rusty,
This patch is a prereq for the virtio_blk blocksize patch, please apply it
first.Adding an u32 value to the virtio_blk_config unconvered a small bug the config
space defintions:
v is a pointer, to we have to use sizeof(*v) instead of sizeof(v).Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bitsSigned-off-by: Rusty Russell

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement.The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
