virtio: add full three-clause BSD text to headers.

2011-05-30T01:44:14Z

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.

Add virtio disk identification support

2010-05-19T12:45:40Z

Add virtio-blk device id (s/n) support via virtio request. Signed-off-by: john cooper Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_blk: add block topology support

2010-02-24T03:52:26Z

Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the storage topology. Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up, but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in the storage world.

virtio_blk: Revert serial number support

2009-10-22T06:09:30Z

This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a". Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this. This is coming back later in a cleaner form. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: john cooper Cc: Jens Axboe

virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h

2009-10-22T06:09:28Z

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include " from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

virtio_blk: add support for cache flush

2009-09-23T12:56:36Z

Recent qemu has added a VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH flag to advertise that the virtual disk has a volatile write cache that needs to be flushed. In case we see this feature implement tell the Linux block layer about the fact and use the new VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to flush the cache when required. This allows for an correct and simple implementation of write barriers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: add virtio IDs file

2009-09-23T12:56:32Z

Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

lguest and virtio: cleanup struct definitions to Linux style.

2009-07-30T06:33:46Z

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. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Ingo Molnar

Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a

2009-06-09T12:41:40Z

This patch extracts the opaque data from pci i/o region 0 via the added VIRTIO_BLK_F_IDENTIFY field. By convention this data takes the form of that returned by an ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE command, however the driver (except for structure size) makes no interpretation of the data. The structure data is copied wholesale to userspace via a HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl command (eg: hdparm -i ). Signed-off-by: john cooper Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

virtio_blk: SG_IO passthru support

2009-05-18T12:41:30Z

Add support for SG_IO passthru to virtio_blk. We add the scsi command block after the normal outhdr, and the scsi inhdr with full status information aswell as the sense buffer before the regular inhdr. [hch: forward ported, added the VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI flags, some comments and tested the whole beast] [axboe: updated to use ->resid and not dual-path the byte count] Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (+ checkpatch.pl tweak) Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
