From c45a6816c19dee67b8f725e6646d428901a6dc24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 21:50:50 -0500 Subject: 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 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell --- drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c') diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c index fef88d84cef..bfef604160d 100644 --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c @@ -227,7 +227,7 @@ static int virtballoon_probe(struct virtio_device *vdev) } vb->tell_host_first - = vdev->config->feature(vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST); + = virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST); return 0; @@ -259,7 +259,11 @@ static void virtballoon_remove(struct virtio_device *vdev) kfree(vb); } +static unsigned int features[] = { VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST }; + static struct virtio_driver virtio_balloon = { + .feature_table = features, + .feature_table_size = ARRAY_SIZE(features), .driver.name = KBUILD_MODNAME, .driver.owner = THIS_MODULE, .id_table = id_table, -- cgit v1.2.3
