You certainly remember, the driver has may not assume the reset was performed (and thus virtqueues are not live) until it reads back status 0. But without READ_STATUS virtio_ccw_get_status() will keep returning the status the driver last set via virtio_ccw_set_status(). And CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET is of course revision 1 material.

A device that ain't violating the spec would currently reject READ_STATUS. Which would break RESET_VDEV like I described above. Can we change that MUST to should? There are now good reasons for not doing like the spec says in case of READ_STATUS.> > > > --- > > drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c | 4 ++-- > > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > index 5730572b52cd..54e686dca6de 100644 > > --- a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > +++ b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > @@ -117,7 +117,7 @@ struct virtio_rev_info { > > }; > > > > /* the highest virtio-ccw revision we support */ > > -#define VIRTIO_CCW_REV_MAX 1 > > +#define VIRTIO_CCW_REV_MAX 2 > > > > struct virtio_ccw_vq_info { > > struct virtqueue *vq; > > @@ -952,7 +952,7 @@ static u8 virtio_ccw_get_status(struct virtio_device *vdev) > > u8 old_status = vcdev->dma_area->status; > > struct ccw1 *ccw; > > > > - if (vcdev->revision < 1) > > + if (vcdev->revision < 2) > > return vcdev->dma_area->status;I don't think our faking of the status read (i.e. returning the old one) is contributing to spec compliance. Especially not if the inability to READ is not transient. Also return old_status; would tell the story better, but on the other hand, that would be an unrelated cosmetic change.

There are now good reasons for not > doing like the spec says in case of READ_STATUS.Yes. I'm not so sure forcing the device to reject the command was such a good idea anyway, and relaxing the requirement keeps existing implementations in compliance. I've opened https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/96 and will send a patch for the spec later.> > > > > > > --- > > > drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c | 4 ++-- > > > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > > index 5730572b52cd..54e686dca6de 100644 > > > --- a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > > +++ b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c > > > @@ -117,7 +117,7 @@ struct virtio_rev_info { > > > }; > > > > > > /* the highest virtio-ccw revision we support */ > > > -#define VIRTIO_CCW_REV_MAX 1 > > > +#define VIRTIO_CCW_REV_MAX 2 > > > > > > struct virtio_ccw_vq_info { > > > struct virtqueue *vq; > > > @@ -952,7 +952,7 @@ static u8 virtio_ccw_get_status(struct virtio_device *vdev) > > > u8 old_status = vcdev->dma_area->status; > > > struct ccw1 *ccw; > > > > > > - if (vcdev->revision < 1) > > > + if (vcdev->revision < 2) > > > return vcdev->dma_area->status; > > I don't think our faking of the status read (i.e. returning the old one) > is contributing to spec compliance.

Maybe > a separate patch?We would also need to actively check for success or failure of the channel program in that case. I'm currently looking at the virtio-ccw code anyway, so I can put that on my list as well.> > Reviewed-by: Halil Pasic <pasic at linux.ibm.com>Thanks!
