2008-05-02virtio: explicit advertisement of driver featuresRusty Russell
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 bits Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-05-02virtio: change config to guest endian.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 <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-05-02virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_netRusty Russell
So, we previously had a 'VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO' bit which meant that 'the host can handle csum offload, and any TSO (v4&v6 incl ECN) or UFO packets you might want to send. I thought this was good enough for Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software. So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle. Add equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO is coming too (thanks Herbert!). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-05-02virtio: de-structify virtio_block status byteRusty Russell

2008-05-02virtio: export more headers to userspaceChristian Borntraeger
Rusty, is there a reason why we dont export the virtio headers for 9p, balloon, console, pci, and virtio_ring? kvm uses make sync, but I think it is still useful to heave these headers exported as they might be useful for other userspace tools. I dont export virtio.h, because it does not seem to have useful information for userspace and it requires scatterlist.h which is also not exported.

2008-05-02genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrivesThomas Gleixner
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line. I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not work anymore so I can not verify). Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box usable again. Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.
