similar to: [PATCH V2 RFC 1/9] virtio_ring: change host notification API

Hi, this patch-set solves a hang situation when a vlan network device is hot-unplugged from a KVM guest. On System z there exists no handshake mechanism between host and guest when a device is hot-unplugged. The device is removed and no further I/O is possible. The guest is notified about the hard removal with a CRW machine check. As per architecture, the host must repond to any I/O operation

This fixes virtio on Xen guests as well as on any other platform that uses virtio_pci on which physical addresses don't match bus addresses. This can be tested with: virtme-run --xen xen --kimg arch/x86/boot/bzImage --console using virtme from here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/virtme/virtme.git Without these patches, the guest hangs forever. With these patches,

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in the virtqueue of a particular virtio device. Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context where the kick is triggered. This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a negative int return value in case the host

Aiming these for coming merge window. Nothing should change, but get ready for a non-guest-endian config transports, and > 32 features bits. Final one is just an overdue consolidation. Cheers, Rusty. Rusty Russell (7): virtio_config: introduce size-based accessors. virtio: use size-based config accessors. virtio_config: helpers for non-converting accessors. virtio_config: make

This patchset tries to go towards implementing both virtio-1 compliant and transitional virtio drivers in Linux. Branch available at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux virtio-1 This is based on some old patches by Rusty to handle extended feature bits and endianness conversions. Thomas implemented the new virtio-ccw transport revision command, and I hacked up some

At this point, no transports set any of the high 32 feature bits. Since transports generally can't (yet) cope with such bits, add BUG_ON checks to make sure they are not set by mistake.

This introduces vringh, which are generic accessors for virtio rings (host side). There's a host-side implementation in vhost, but it assumes that the rings are in userspace, and is tied to the vhost implementation. I have patches to adapt it to use vringh, but I'm pushing this in the next merge window for Sjur, who has CAIF patches which need it. This also includes a test program in

From: Erwan Yvin <erwan.yvin at stericsson.com> This driver depends on Rusty's new host virtio ring implementation, so this patch-set is based on the vringh branch in Rusty's git. with the vringh wrapper patch on top. They do not apply cleanly on top of the remoteproc virtio config patches from Sjur, but it merges fine. CAIF will use this new host virtio ring implementation. Ido,
