[PATCH 0/3] vhost_net: support for cross endian guests

Hi,

This patchset allows vhost_net to be used with legacy virtio
when guest and host have a different endianness. It is based
on previous work by C?dric Le Goater:

https://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-ppc at vger.kernel.org/msg09848.html

As suggested by MST:
- the API now asks for a specific format (big endian) instead of the hint
  whether byteswap is needed or not (patch 1)
- rebased on top of the virtio-1 accessors (patch 2)

Patch 3 is a separate fix: I think it is also valid for virtio-1.

Please comment.

[PATCH 1/3] vhost: add VHOST_VRING_F_LEGACY_BIG_ENDIAN flag

The VHOST_VRING_F_LEGACY_BIG_ENDIAN flag informs the kernel that the
associated device is big endian. Of course, this only makes sense for
legacy virtio devices since modern virtio devices are always little
endian.

It will be used by the vhost memory accessors to byteswap vring data when
we have a legacy device, in case host and guest endianness differ.

Michael,

The vhost_is_little_endian() helper adds unconditionnal overhead to fixed
endian architectures: that is all architectures except arm and ppc64. This
was addressed in QEMU with a TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro. Please give an
advice about how to address this in the vhost code.

Thanks.

I think it's the wrong place to fix this.  You want a tun/macvtap ioctl
to enable legacy big endian stuff.  Treat it same way as vhost, with a
config option to enable.

I suggest creating a config option for this, default to off.
When disabled the flag won't be set so userspace
can discover it's availability.

I don't think so. See e.g. this code in tun:
                        gso.csum_offset = cpu_to_tun16(tun,
skb->csum_offset);
looks like it has the correct endian-ness for virtio-1.
