similar to: [PATCH 0/3] virtio implementation (draft VI)

Rusty, I have a mind to send this patches for the next merge window. Any input on this? This fixes the following virtio spec compliance issues: 1. on restore, drivers use device before setting ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER bits 2. on probe, drivers aren't prepared to handle config interrupts arriving before probe returns 3. on probe, drivers use device before DRIVER_OK it set Note that 1 is a

Changes from v4: rename virtio_enable_vqs_early() to virtio_device_ready() Note: Rusty requested we add a BUG_ON in the virtio_ring code. This can be done by a separate patch on top. Good for bisectability in case BUG_ON starts triggering :) Rusty, please review this, and consider for this merge window.

These are minor robustness enhancements on top of v8 of the patchset [PATCH v8 00/50] linux: towards virtio-1 guest support http://mid.gmane.org/1417449619-24896-1-git-send-email-mst at redhat.com As that one seems stable and actually seems to work well for people, I'm not respinning it anymore. The main motivation is to prevent us accidentally supporting bad configurations, such as legacy

virtqueue ops were introduced in the hope that we'll have multiple implementations besides virtio_ring, but none have surfaced so far, and given that existing virtio ring is deployed in production we are likely stuck with it now, so this layer just adds complexity and overhead. Further, the need to pass vq twice to each call (as in dev->vq->vq_ops->kick(dev->vq) ) adds potential

Since we want to reset the device to remove them, this is simpler (device is reset for us on driver remove).

Hi all, This patch series attempts to come closer to unifying kvm and lguest's usage of virtio. As these two are the first implementations we've seen, I hope making them closer will make future ones closer too. Drivers now unpack their own configuration: their probe() methods are uniform. The configuration mechanism is extensible and can be backed by PCI, a string of bytes, or

transports need to be able to detect legacy-only devices (ATM balloon only) to use legacy path to drive them. Add a core API to do just that. The implementation just blacklists balloon: not too pretty, but let's not over-engineer. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> This patch changes virtio-scsi to use a new virtio_driver->scan() callback so that scsi_scan_host() can be properly invoked once virtio_dev_probe() has set add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK) to signal active virtio-ring operation, instead of from within virtscsi_probe(). This fixes a bug where SCSI LUN scanning for both
