gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing. Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

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: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>

Drivers don't add transport features to their table, so we shouldn't check these with virtio_check_driver_offered_feature(). We could perhaps add an ->offered_feature() virtio_config_op, but that perhaps that would be overkill for a consitency check like this.

This replaces find_vq/del_vq with find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations, and updates all drivers. This is needed for MSI support, because MSI needs to know the total number of vectors upfront.

Add a linked list of all virtqueues for a virtio device: this helps for debugging and is also needed for upcoming interface change. Also, add a "name" field for clearer debug messages. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just hand the virtio_device and have it set the features. This make it clear that it has the chance to manipulate the features of the device at this point (and that all feature negotiation is already done).

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization). There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the ring is completely full. It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise has to use a timer to poll. We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable anyway). Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rusty, This patch is a prereq for the virtio_blk blocksize patch, please apply it first. Adding an u32 value to the virtio_blk_config unconvered a small bug the config space defintions: v is a pointer, to we have to use sizeof(*v) instead of sizeof(v).

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: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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.

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement. The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked. There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query to get setup information from the host.
