Linux Virtualization - May 2015 - [PATCH RFC 1/7] virtio: relax feature check

Hi,

This series allows QEMU to use vhost with legacy virtio devices when
host and target don't have the same endianness. Only network devices
are covered for the moment.

I had already posted a series some monthes ago but it never got reviewed.
Moreover, the underlying kernel support was entirely re-written and is still
waiting to be applied by Michael. I hence post as RFC.

The corresponding kernel patches are available here:

http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/virtualization/2015-April/029885.html

Please comment.

Unlike with add and clear, there is no valid reason to abort when checking
for a feature. It makes more sense to return false (i.e. the feature bit
isn't set). This is exactly what __virtio_has_feature() does if fbit >=
32.

This allows to introduce code that is aware about new 64-bit features like
VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, even if they are still not implemented.

This patch brings the cross-endian vhost API to QEMU.

This helper will be used by vhost and tap to detect cross-endianness in
the legacy virtio case.

Legacy virtio is native endian: if the guest and host endianness differ,
we have to tell vhost so it can swap bytes where appropriate. This is
done through a vhost ring ioctl.

The linux tap and macvtap backends can be told to parse vnet headers
according to little or big endian. This is done through the TUNSETVNETLE
and TUNSETVNETBE ioctls.

This patch brings all the plumbing for QEMU to use these APIs.

The default behaviour for TAP/MACVTAP is to consider vnet as native endian.

This patch handles the cases when this is not true:
- virtio 1.0: always little-endian
- legacy cross-endian

 void vhost_net_cleanup(struct vhost_net *net)

From: C?dric Le Goater <clg at fr.ibm.com>

Cross-endianness is now checked by the core vhost code.

I must say I'm not very comfortable with knowingly passing out-of-rage
values to this function.

Can we perhaps apply at least the feature-bit-size extending patches
prior to your patchset, if the remainder of the virtio-1 patchset still
takes some time?

I think this should either go in after the virtio-1 base support (more
feature bits etc.) or get a big fat comment and be touched up later.
I'd prefer the first solution so it does not get forgotten, but I'm not
sure when Michael plans to proceed with the virtio-1 patches (I think
they're mostly fine already).
