Michael S. Tsirkin 30683a8cce virtio: set VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FEATURES_OK on restore
virtio 1.0 devices require that drivers set VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FEATURES_OK
after finalizing features.
virtio core missed doing this on restore, fix it up.

Michael S. Tsirkin b6098c3042 virtio: add API to detect legacy devices
transports need to be able to detect legacy-only

Add a core API to do just that.

This will allow drivers to set DRIVER_OK earlier, without worrying about

Cornelia Huck 237242bddc virtio: Don't access index after unregister.
Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding
virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not
hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with
device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards
invalid.

I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged)
virtio-ccw code:

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> creates device virtio<n> with n>0

- device_del xxx
-> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an
   index of 0

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use...

So let's save the index we want to release before calling
device_unregister().

Nicholas Bellinger 59057fbc37 [SCSI] virtio-scsi: Add vdrv->scan for post VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK LUN scanning
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

operation, instead of from within virtscsi_probe().

This fixes a bug where SCSI LUN scanning for both virtio-scsi-raw and
virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost setups was happening before VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK
had been set, causing VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BAD_TARGET to occur.  This fixes a bug
with virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost where LUN scan was not detecting LUNs.

Rusty Russell ef688e151c virtio: meet virtio spec by finalizing features before using device
Virtio devices are supposed to negotiate features before they start using
the device, but the current code doesn't do this.  This is because the
driver's probe() function invariably has to add buffers to a virtqueue,
or probe the disk (virtio_blk).

This currently doesn't matter since no existing backend is strict about
the feature negotiation.  But it's possible to imagine a future feature
which completely changes how a device operates: in this case, we'd need
to acknowledge it before using the device.

Kay Sievers 99e0b6c8e3 virtio: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Rusty Russell b769f57908 virtio: set device index in common code.
Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code,
but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field.  In
theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be
duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created.

So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code
in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code.

The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify
the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is
called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier
for the printks.

Rusty Russell c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.

There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.

So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.

Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.

Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.

API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

Rusty Russell 6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
A reset function solves three problems:

1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
   guest driver without rebooting the guest.

2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
   we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and

3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.

We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Rusty Russell a586d4f601 virtio: simplify config mechanism.
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Rusty Russell 74b2553f1d virtio: fix module/device unloading
The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback.  Although
noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already
needed for module unloading.

This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest
unloading paths.

Rusty Russell b01d9f2863 Module autoprobing support for virtio drivers.
This adds the logic to convert the virtio ids into module aliases, and
includes a modalias entry in sysfs and the env var to make probing work.

Rusty Russell ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.
