virtio: add API to enable VQs early

2014-10-14T23:55:01Z

virtio spec 0.9.X requires DRIVER_OK to be set before VQs are used, but some drivers use VQs before probe function returns. Since DRIVER_OK is set after probe, this violates the spec. Even though under virtio 1.0 transitional devices support this behaviour, we want to make it possible for those early callers to become spec compliant and eventually support non-transitional devices. Add API for drivers to call before using VQs. Sets DRIVER_OK internally. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_config: remove virtio_config_val

virtio_config: introduce size-based accessors.

2013-10-17T00:25:36Z

This lets the us do endian conversion if necessary, and insulates the drivers from that change. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: support reserved vqs

2012-09-28T05:35:15Z

virtio network device multiqueue support reserves vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers). Make it possible to skip initialization for specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name. Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback. Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does not break existing drivers. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: introduce an API to set affinity for a virtqueue

2012-09-28T05:35:15Z

Sometimes, virtio device need to configure irq affinity hint to maximize the performance. Instead of just exposing the irq of a virtqueue, this patch introduce an API to set the affinity for a virtqueue. The api is best-effort, the affinity hint may not be set as expected due to platform support, irq sharing or irq type. Currently, only pci method were implemented and we set the affinity according to: - if device uses INTX, we just ignore the request - if device has per vq vector, we force the affinity hint - if the virtqueues share MSI, make the affinity OR over all affinities requested Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: fix typo in comment

2012-05-22T02:46:16Z

- Delete "@request_vqs" and "@free_vqs" comments, since they are no longer in struct virtio_config_ops. - According to the macro below, "@val" should be "@v". Signed-off-by: Chen Baozi Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h

2012-03-04T22:54:34Z

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

virtio-pci: make reset operation safer

2011-11-24T02:34:48Z

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 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
