      lguest: fix for CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y · 6db6a5f3
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Impact: remove lots of lguest boot WARN_ON() when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y
      
      We now need to call irq_to_desc_alloc_cpu() before
      set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), but we can't do that from init_IRQ (no
      kmalloc available).
      
      So do it as we use interrupts instead.  Also means we only alloc for
      irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

      virtio: set device index in common code. · b769f579
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code,
      but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field.  In
      theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be
      duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created.
      
      So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code
      in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code.
      
      The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify
      the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is
      called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier
      for the printks.

      virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features · c45a6816
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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

      virtio: reset function · 6e5aa7ef
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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, and
      
      3) 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.

      virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return. · 18445c4d
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      virtio: simplify config mechanism. · a586d4f6
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes · 42b36cc0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
      aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
      free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
      of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
      
      So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
      boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
      pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

      Lguest support for Virtio · 19f1537b
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices.
      
      We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable
      length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and
      implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data.
      
      We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host
      virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the
      host when it changes.
      
      We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early
      console output.  We could have another hypercall, but this hack works
      quite well.
