      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.

      Block driver using virtio. · e467cde2
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
      request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
      and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
      sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
      whether it's a read or a write.
      
      We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
      side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
      not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
      if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().
      
      Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
      CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
      patch.
