      virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features · c45a6816
      由 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: change config to guest endian. · 72e61eb4
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      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.

      virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_net · 5539ae96
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      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!).

      virtio: de-structify virtio_block status byte · cb38fa23
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      Ron Minnich points out that a struct containing a char is not always
sizeof(char); simplest to remove the structure to avoid confusion.

      virtio: export more headers to userspace · 81473132
      由 Christian Borntraeger 提交于 
      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. See also my other mail about your "virtio:
change config to guest endian." patch.
