comments on previous one have all been minor, so I hope
this means we are close to merging this.
Change log:
since 11:
addressed lots of comments, all minor. consistency with
outstanding number->index and queue->enqueue work
i did not intentionally drop any reviewed-by tags
as all changes are minor - if yours is missing it is
because I forgot to record it, sorry
one "breaking" change in response to stefan's comment:
in patch 5, num_queues has been specified not to include admin
queues: just regular ones.
since v10:
addressed lots of comments by Jiri, Stefan. Cornelia, Lngshan, Parav, Max
since v9:
addressed comments by Parav, Max, Cornelia, David and Zhu Lingshan:
added link to errno header from Linux
rename _MEM to _MEMBER
admin vq num is zero based
clarify who sends commands where
minor english tweaks
clarify command length
specify interaction with sriov capability
correct commit log - NumVFs can be 0
i could not decide what should happen when VFs are
disabled. for now did not specify.
since v8:
addressed comments by Cornelia - as we agreed on list
since v7:
make high level error codes match linux, with virtio specific codes
in a separate field
renamed _ACCEPT to _USE since that's what it does
clarified forward compatibility and non pci transports
support multiple admin vqs
conformance statements
lots of changes all over the place to I changed author from Max
to myself. Don't need to take credit but also don't want
to blame Max for my mistakes.
since v6:
- removed some extentions intended for future use.
We'll do them when we get there.
- brought back command list query from v5 in a simplified form -
it's here to address the case where a single parent
can address multiple groups, such as PF addressing
transport vq and sriov vfs.
- attempt to make terminology more formal.
In particular a term for whoever controls the group.
I am still going back
and forth between "parent" and "owner" - owner might
be better after all since it will work if we ever
have a self group. For now it's parent.
TODO (maybe?) - probably ok to defer until this part is upstream:
Add "all members" member id.
Add commands for MSI, feature discovery.
Add commands for transport vq.
My intent is to try and support both SR-IOV and SIOV
usecases with the same structure and maybe even the same
VQ.
For example, it might make sense to split creating/destroying
SIOV devices from the transport passing data from the guest - the
driver would then not negotiate VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV (which
then means auto-provisioning).
More ideas for use-cases:
virtio VF features query and configuration space provisioning
virtio VF resource (queues, msix vectors count) provisioning
Future directions (shouldn't block this patch)
- aborting commands - left for later. or is vq reset enough?
- should we rename structures from admin to group admin?
Michael S. Tsirkin (10):
virtio: document forward compatibility guarantees
admin: introduce device group and related concepts
admin: introduce group administration commands
admin: introduce virtio admin virtqueues
pci: add admin vq registers to virtio over pci
mmio: document ADMIN_VQ as reserved
ccw: document ADMIN_VQ as reserved
admin: command list discovery
admin: conformance clauses
ccw: document more reserved features

Each device group has a type. For now, define one initial group type:
SR-IOV type - PCI SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs) of a given
PCI SR-IOV physical function (PF). This group may contain zero or more
virtio devices according to NumVFs configured.
Each device within a group has a unique identifier. This identifier
is the group member identifier.
Note: one can argue both ways whether the new device group handling
functionality (this and following patches) is closer
to a new device type or a new transport type.
However, it's expected that we will add more features in the near
future. To facilitate this as much as possible of the text is located in
the new admin chapter.
Effort was made to minimize transport-specific text.
There's a bit of duplication with 0x1 repeated twice and
no special section for group type identifiers.
It seems ok to defer adding these until we have more group
types.

+\section{Device groups}\label{sec:Basic Facilities of a Virtio Device / Device groups}

+It is occasionally useful to have a device control a group of
+other devices. Terminology used in such cases:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Device group]
+ or just group, includes zero or more devices.
+\item[Owner device]
+ or owner, the device controlling the group.
+\item[Member device]
+ a device within a group. The owner device itself is not
+ a member of the group.
+\item[Member identifier]
+ each member has this identifier, unique within the group
+ and used to address it through the owner device.
+\item[Group type identifier]
+ specifies what kind of member devices there are in a
+ group, how the member identifier is interpreted
+ and what kind of control the owner has.
+ A given owner can control multiple groups
+ of different types but only a single group of a given type,
+ thus the type and the owner together identify the group.
+ \footnote{Even though some group types only support
+ specific transports, group type identifiers
+ are global rather than transport-specific -
+ a flood of new group types is not expected.}
+\end{description}
+
+\begin{note}
+Each device only has a single driver, thus for the purposes of
+this section, "the driver" is usually unambiguous and refers to
+the driver of the owner device. When there's ambiguity, "owner
+driver" refers to the driver of the owner device, while "member
+driver" refers to the driver of a member device.
+\end{note}
+
+The following group types, and their identifiers, are currently specified:
+\begin{description}
+\item[SR-IOV group type (0x1)]
+This device group has a PCI Single Root I/O Virtualization
+(SR-IOV) physical function (PF) device as the owner and includes
+all its SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs) as members (see
+\hyperref[intro:PCIe]{[PCIe]}).
+
+The PF device itself is not a member of the group.
+
+The group type identifier for this group is 0x1.
+
+A member identifier for this group can have a value from 0x1 to

+SR-IOV Extended Capability of the owner device
+and equals the SR-IOV VF number of the member device;
+the group only exists when the \field{VF Enable} bit

This introduces a general structure for group administration commands,
used to control device groups through their owner.
Following patches will introduce specific commands and an interface for
submitting these commands to the owner.
Note that the commands are focused on controlling device groups:
this is why group related fields are in the generic part of
the structure.
Without this the admin vq would become a "whatever" vq which does not do
anything specific at all, just a general transport like thing.
I feel going this way opens the design space to the point where
we no longer know what belongs in e.g. config space
what in the control q and what in the admin q.
As it is, whatever deals with groups is in the admin q; other
things not in the admin q.
There are specific exceptions such as query but that's an exception that
proves the rule ;)

changes since v11:
acks by Stefan and Lingshan
changes since v10:
explain the role of status vs status_qualifier, addresses
multiple comments
add more status values and appropriate qualifiers,
as suggested by Parav
clarify reserved command opcodes as suggested by Stefan
better formatting for ranges, comment by Jiri
make sure command-specific-data is a multiple of qword,
so things are aligned, suggested by Jiri
add Q_OK qualifier for success

+\subsection{Group administration commands}\label{sec:Basic Facilities of a Virtio Device / Device groups / Group administration commands}
+The driver sends group administration commands to the owner device of
+a group to control member devices of the group.
+This mechanism can
+be used, for example, to configure a member device before it is
+initialized by its driver.
+\footnote{The term "administration" is intended to be interpreted
+widely to include any kind of control. See specific commands
+for detail.}
+
+All the group administration commands are of the following form:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_admin_cmd {
+ /* Device-readable part */
+ le16 opcode;
+ /*
+ * 1 - SR-IOV
+ * 2-65535 - reserved
+ */
+ le16 group_type;
+ /* unused, reserved for future extensions */
+ u8 reserved1[12];
+ le64 group_member_id;
+ le64 command_specific_data[];
+
+ /* Device-writable part */
+ le16 status;
+ le16 status_qualifier;
+ /* unused, reserved for future extensions */
+ u8 reserved2[4];
+ u8 command_specific_result[];
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+For all commands, \field{opcode}, \field{group_type} and if
+necessary \field{group_member_id} and \field{command_specific_data} are
+set by the driver, and the owner device sets \field{status} and if
+needed \field{status_qualifier} and
+\field{command_specific_result}.
+
+Generally, any unused device-readable fields are set to zero by the driver
+and ignored by the device. Any unused device-writeable fields are set to zero
+by the device and ignored by the driver.
+
+\field{opcode} specifies the command. The valid
+values for \field{opcode} can be found in the following table:
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
+\hline
+opcode & Name & Command Description \\
+\hline \hline
+0x0000 - 0x7FFF & - & Commands using \field{struct virtio_admin_cmd} \\
+\hline
+0x8000 - 0xFFFF & - & Reserved for future commands (possibly using a different structure) \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+The \field{group_type} specifies the group type identifier.
+The \field{group_member_id} specifies the member identifier within the group.
+See section \ref{sec:Introduction / Terminology / Device group}
+for the definition of the group type identifier and group member
+identifier.
+
+The \field{status} describes the command result and possibly
+failure reason at an abstract level, this is appropriate for
+forwarding to applications. The \field{status_qualifier} describes
+failures at a low virtio specific level, as appropriate for debugging.
+The following table describes possible \field{status} values;
+to simplify common implementations, they are intentionally
+matching common \hyperref[intro:errno]{Linux error names and numbers}:
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
+\hline
+Status (decimal) & Name & Description \\
+\hline \hline
+00 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK & successful completion \\
+\hline
+11 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EAGAIN & try again \\
+\hline
+12 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_ENOMEM & insufficient resources \\
+\hline
+22 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL & invalid command \\
+\hline
+other & - & group administration command error \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+When \field{status} is VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK, \field{status_qualifier}
+is reserved and set to zero by the device.
+
+The following table describes possible \field{status_qualifier} values:
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
+\hline
+Status & Name & Description \\
+\hline \hline
+0x00 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_OK & used with VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK \\
+\hline
+0x01 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_COMMAND & command error: no additional information \\
+\hline
+0x02 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_OPCODE & unsupported or invalid \field{opcode} \\
+\hline
+0x03 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_FIELD & unsupported or invalid field within \field{command_specific_data} \\
+\hline
+0x04 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_GROUP & unsupported or invalid \field{group_type} \\
+\hline
+0x05 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_MEMBER & unsupported or invalid \field{group_member_id} \\
+\hline
+0x06 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_NORESOURCE & out of internal resources: ok to retry \\
+\hline
+0x07 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_TRYAGAIN & command blocks for too long: should retry \\
+\hline
+0x08-0xFFFF & - & reserved for future use \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+Each command uses a different \field{command_specific_data} and
+\field{command_specific_result} structures and the length of
+\field{command_specific_data} and \field{command_specific_result}
+depends on these structures and is described separately or is
+implicit in the structure description.

This introduces a general structure for group administration commands,
used to control device groups through their owner.
Following patches will introduce specific commands and an interface for
submitting these commands to the owner.
Note that the commands are focused on controlling device groups:
this is why group related fields are in the generic part of
the structure.
Without this the admin vq would become a "whatever" vq which does not do
anything specific at all, just a general transport like thing.
I feel going this way opens the design space to the point where
we no longer know what belongs in e.g. config space
what in the control q and what in the admin q.
As it is, whatever deals with groups is in the admin q; other
things not in the admin q.
There are specific exceptions such as query but that's an exception that
proves the rule ;)

+\subsection{Group administration commands}\label{sec:Basic Facilities of a Virtio Device / Device groups / Group administration commands}
+The driver sends group administration commands to the owner device of
+a group to control member devices of the group.
+This mechanism can
+be used, for example, to configure a member device before it is
+initialized by its driver.
+\footnote{The term "administration" is intended to be interpreted
+widely to include any kind of control. See specific commands
+for detail.}
+
+All the group administration commands are of the following form:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_admin_cmd {
+ /* Device-readable part */
+ le16 opcode;
+ /*
+ * 1 - SR-IOV
+ * 2-65535 - reserved
+ */
+ le16 group_type;
+ /* unused, reserved for future extensions */
+ u8 reserved1[12];
+ le64 group_member_id;
+ le64 command_specific_data[];
+
+ /* Device-writable part */
+ le16 status;
+ le16 status_qualifier;
+ /* unused, reserved for future extensions */
+ u8 reserved2[4];
+ u8 command_specific_result[];
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+For all commands, \field{opcode}, \field{group_type} and if
+necessary \field{group_member_id} and \field{command_specific_data} are
+set by the driver, and the owner device sets \field{status} and if
+needed \field{status_qualifier} and
+\field{command_specific_result}.
+
+Generally, any unused device-readable fields are set to zero by the driver
+and ignored by the device. Any unused device-writeable fields are set to zero
+by the device and ignored by the driver.
+
+\field{opcode} specifies the command. The valid
+values for \field{opcode} can be found in the following table:
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
+\hline
+opcode & Name & Command Description \\
+\hline \hline
+0x0000 - 0x7FFF & - & Commands using \field{struct virtio_admin_cmd} \\
+\hline
+0x8000 - 0xFFFF & - & Reserved for future commands (possibly using a different structure) \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+The \field{group_type} specifies the group type identifier.
+The \field{group_member_id} specifies the member identifier within the group.
+See section \ref{sec:Introduction / Terminology / Device group}
+for the definition of the group type identifier and group member
+identifier.
+
+The \field{status} describes the command result and possibly
+failure reason at an abstract level, this is appropriate for
+forwarding to applications. The \field{status_qualifier} describes
+failures at a low virtio specific level, as appropriate for debugging.
+The following table describes possible \field{status} values;
+to simplify common implementations, they are intentionally
+matching common \hyperref[intro:errno]{Linux error names and numbers}:
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
+\hline
+Status (decimal) & Name & Description \\
+\hline \hline
+00 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK & successful completion \\
+\hline
+11 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EAGAIN & try again \\
+\hline
+12 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_ENOMEM & insufficient resources \\
+\hline
+22 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL & invalid command \\
+\hline
+other & - & group administration command error \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+When \field{status} is VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK, \field{status_qualifier}
+is reserved and set to zero by the device.
+
+The following table describes possible \field{status_qualifier} values:
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
+\hline
+Status & Name & Description \\
+\hline \hline
+0x00 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_OK & used with VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK \\
+\hline
+0x01 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_COMMAND & command error: no additional information \\
+\hline
+0x02 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_OPCODE & unsupported or invalid \field{opcode} \\
+\hline
+0x03 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_FIELD & unsupported or invalid field within \field{command_specific_data} \\
+\hline
+0x04 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_GROUP & unsupported or invalid \field{group_type} \\
+\hline
+0x05 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_MEMBER & unsupported or invalid \field{group_member_id} \\
+\hline
+0x06 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_NORESOURCE & out of internal resources: ok to retry \\
+\hline
+0x07 & VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_TRYAGAIN & command blocks for too long: should retry \\
+\hline
+0x08-0xFFFF & - & reserved for future use \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+Each command uses a different \field{command_specific_data} and
+\field{command_specific_result} structures and the length of
+\field{command_specific_data} and \field{command_specific_result}
+depends on these structures and is described separately or is
+implicit in the structure description.

actually it is:
When \field{status} is VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK, \field{status_qualifier}
can be ignored by driver and set to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_OK by the device.
Can be moved after the status_qualifier values paragraph.

should we mention which status_qualifier can match to which status (as

ok though it's mostly the same, VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_OK is 0 ...

Below paragraph is no longer applies as we already discussed more use
cases of the AQ such as accessing the PCI VF's legacy config space
registers. Please drop below paragraph.

A PF can use same or different AQ with a new struct
virtio_legacy_register_access with a different opcode range.
AQ doesn't replace the control vq, so that part description is fine.

Hopefully after b4 integration, this will be smooth.

A PF can use same or different AQ with a new struct
virtio_legacy_register_access with a different opcode range.
AQ doesn't replace the control vq, so that part description is fine.

Thanks for fixing this link. Missing in commit log changes for v12.
Hopefully after b4 integration, this will be smooth.

Look - at one point you want commit log to record design process,
an another you turn around and ask me to drop it.
I feel like keeping this around frankly. Maybe I will add
a sentence or two along the lines of "Note that nothing limits us from
extending this down the road though - but let's focus
on what we already know for now".
This extreme focus on commit log is poinless anyway - it makes
much more sense for code since commit log describes the
change in english. Here the whole change is english anyway.

We'll get to that bridge and we'll cross it, the proposal is not
on list even yet. I actually think that yes, you need
it in a separate function. If PF is passed through to guest
then PF can not also safely DMA into host memory.
Alternatively, we could use an MMIO based mechanism for
admin commands. And maybe that would be a good fit.

I am requesting to drop the commit point that limits the usage of the AQ.
Do you agree that AQ can be extended for use beyond VF and SIOV group management commands?
Or one should create a new VQ type?
If it is the later, I don't see the need of multiple AQ.

It is at [1].
[1] https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202304/msg00511.html
I cannot draft the legacy command using AQ because AQ patch-5 in v12 fails to merge.

That is fine. Only some user tests would pass the PF and VF to the VMs.
One can create N combinations to make it not work.
In all practical purposes, PF is owned by the hypervisor, trusted sw as listed in the PCI spec.

We discussed that MMIO is not a good fit for the VFs at scale as listed in [1].

not management. that is old term and indeed too narrow.
administration as in hypervisor (admin) access through PF while
guest has access through VF.
legacy access you link to below seems to fall within scope:
we access VF through a PF.
So what is the problem?
maybe we'll change the meaning down the road. I do not
see the immediate need currently though.

Then I don't see a problem. It's just commit log, not spec. Let it
slide is my suggestion, this is spec text not code.

Ok. I feel it is still worth to have commit log updated. If you happen to revise v13, please do.
Else its fine.
v12 surely doesn't merge cleanly. So v13 is needed anyway.
Can you please generate? Patch-5 of v12 fails to apply.

Ok. I feel it is still worth to have commit log updated. If you happen to revise v13, please do.
Else its fine.
v12 surely doesn't merge cleanly. So v13 is needed anyway.
Can you please generate? Patch-5 of v12 fails to apply.

should apply on top of 985bbf397db4228faf3ec464e838687dc4cb4904. master
will fail because of the file movement. I will need to rebase to apply
on latest master, I will do it before we start voting.

Ok. sounds good. I assume you will post rebased v13 with commit log updated?
When do you plan to do?
I request that it is better to rebase now because legacy related patches need to touch the add the PCI extended capability on top of your changes.
This results in further manual merges for me.
Better to do the work once with one time rebase, instead of both of us.
Let me know if I should generate v13 fixing above two items as you have holiday this week.
It helps me build on top of AQ patches with one time rebase.

I can rebase and push to a branch. Day after tomorrow at the earliest
due to a holiday. I don't want to repost right now, spamming is not
polite to reviewers, several days need to pass.

I pushed the rebase to tag mst-admin-v13 on github.
Don't have time for tweaks it's a holiday.
I usually leave patches on list for a week or so.
If no comments I will post v13 and we will roll a vote.

The admin virtqueues will be the first interface used to issue admin commands.
Currently the virtio specification defines control virtqueue to manipulate
features and configuration of the device it operates on:
virtio-net, virtio-scsi, etc all have existing control virtqueues. However,
control virtqueue commands are device type specific, which makes it very
difficult to extend for device agnostic commands.
Keeping the device-specific virtqueue separate from the admin virtqueue
is simpler and has fewer potential problems. I don't think creating
common infrastructure for device-specific control virtqueues across
device types worthwhile or within the scope of this patch series.
To support this requirement in a more generic way, this patch introduces
a new admin virtqueue interface.
The admin virtqueue can be seen as the virtqueue analog to a transport.
The admin queue thus does nothing device type-specific (net, scsi, etc)
and instead focuses on transporting the admin commands.
We also support more than one admin virtqueue, for QoS and
scalability requirements.

+
+An administration virtqueue of an owner device is used to submit
+group administration commands. An owner device can have more
+than one administration virtqueue.
+
+If VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ has been negotiated, an owner device exposes one
+or more adminstration virtqueues. The number and locations of the
+administration virtqueues are exposed by the owner device in a transport
+specific manner.
+
+The driver enqueues requests to an arbitrary administration
+virtqueue, and they are used by the device on that same
+virtqueue. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure
+strict request ordering for commands, because they will be
+consumed with no order constraints. For example, if consistency
+is required then the driver can wait for the processing of a
+first command by the device to be completed before submitting
+another command depending on the first one.
+
+Administration virtqueues are used as follows:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The driver submits the command using the \field{struct virtio_admin_cmd}
+structure using a buffer consisting of two parts: a device-readable one followed by a
+device-writable one.
+\item the device-readable part includes fields from \field{opcode}
+through \field{command_specific_data}.
+\item the device-writeable buffer includes fields from \field{status}
+through \field{command_specific_result} inclusive.
+\end{itemize}
+
+For each command, this specification describes a distinct
+format structure used for \field{command_specific_data} and
+\field{command_specific_result}, the length of these fields
+depends on the command.
+
+However, to ensure forward compatibility
+\begin{itemize}
+\item drivers are allowed to submit buffers that are longer
+than the device expects
+(that is, longer than the length of
+\field{opcode} through \field{command_specific_data}).
+This allows the driver to maintain
+a single format structure even if some structure fields are
+unused by the device.
+\item drivers are allowed to submit buffers that are shorter
+than what the device expects
+(that is, shorter than the length of \field{status} through
+\field{command_specific_result}). This allows the device to maintain
+a single format structure even if some structure fields are
+unused by the driver.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The device compares the length of each part (device-readable and
+device-writeable) of the buffer as submitted by driver to what it
+expects and then silently truncates the structures to either the
+length submitted by the driver, or the length described in this
+specification, whichever is shorter. The device silently ignores
+any data falling outside the shorter of the two lengths. Any
+missing fields are interpreted as set to zero.
+
+Similarly, the driver compares the used buffer length
+of the buffer to what it expects and then silently
+truncates the structure to the used buffer length.
+The driver silently ignores any data falling outside
+the used buffer length reported by the device. Any missing
+fields are interpreted as set to zero.
+
+This simplifies driver and device implementations since the
+driver/device can simply maintain a single large structure (such
+as a C structure) for a command and its result. As new versions
+of the specification are designed, new fields can be added to the
+tail of a structure, with the driver/device using the full
+structure without concern for versioning.

The admin virtqueue can be seen as the virtqueue analog to a transport.
The admin queue thus does nothing device type-specific (net, scsi, etc)

Add new registers to the PCI common configuration structure.
These registers will be used for querying the indices of the admin
virtqueues of the owner device. To configure, reset or enable the admin
virtqueues, the driver should follow existing queue configuration/setup
sequence.

we need to say something about other virtq's indexes.
For example, if aq index = 0 then for the vblk device the request queues
would start from index = 1.
can we address this ?

It may slightly complicate the device implementation when device
dynamically changes the VQ indices based on the negotiation of the
feature bit.
Also the drivers with and without need a different VQ index handling.
I am thinking that aq index should not overlap with the vq index in
range exposed by num_queues field.
This also aligns to the exclusion of aq count from num_queues field.

The namespace of the aq and other vq index is the same.
And the configuration is done using the same queue_select and other
registers.
Thus, we need to address the above comment otherwise all the device
virtqueues chapters are wrong.

Michael has added below line in this patch in num_queues description so it covers the exclusion part.
+ This excludes administration virtqueues if any are supported.
I inspected all the devices.
Following devices which has multi queue supports are fine, net, console, scsi host, gpu, input, crypto, socket, rpmb, iommu, sound, scmi, gpio.
Following single q devices are fine too: entropy, mem ballon dev, mem, i2c, pmem.
So mostly all chapters don’t look wrong.
Block device needs below change.
WDYT?

Subject: [PATCH] virtio-blk: Rename num_queues to num_req_queues
num_queues field represents number of blk specific request queues.
Renaming it to num_req_queues reflect its precise usage.
It also avoids confusion with PCI transport's generic num_queues field.

This is not related to what I was talking about.
For example if vnet device:
0 receiveq1
1 transmitq1
...
2(N-1) receiveqN
2(N-1)+1 transmitqN
2N controlq
N=1 if neither VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ nor VIRTIO_NET_F_RSS are negotiated,
otherwise N is set by max_-
virtqueue_pairs.
controlq only exists if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ set
and in vfs device:
0 hiprio
1...n request queues
So if one device will expose adminq that will be with index 0 the above
is wrong description.
Agree that this should be addressed ?

Oh yes, I agree.
In response [1] I acked it as,
"I am thinking that aq index should not overlap with the vq index in range exposed by num_queues field."
So, admin_queue_index description needs to have description like below.
admin_queue_index must be greater than or equal to the value of num_queues.
Yes?

It's addressed by patch 9:
+If VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ has been negotiated, the value
+\field{admin_queue_index} MUST be equal to, or bigger than
+\field{num_queues}; also, \field{admin_queue_num} MUST be
+smaller than, or equal to 0x10000 - \field{admin_queue_index},
+to ensure that indices of valid admin queues fit into

Thus adminq can not have index 0.

It's addressed by patch 9:
+If VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ has been negotiated, the value
+\field{admin_queue_index} MUST be equal to, or bigger than
+\field{num_queues}; also, \field{admin_queue_num} MUST be
+smaller than, or equal to 0x10000 - \field{admin_queue_index},
+to ensure that indices of valid admin queues fit into
+a 16 bit range beyond all other virtqueues.
Thus adminq can not have index 0.

Thanks.
Maybe we can mentioned it in this patch as well (in the configuration
layout section) but this is up to you.

Adding relevant registers needs more work and it's not
clear what the use-case will be as currently only
the PCI transport is supported. But let's keep the
door open on this.
We already say it's reserved in a central place, but it
does not hurt to remind implementers to mask it.

Add commands to find out which commands does each group support,
as well as enable their use by driver.
This will be especially useful once we have multiple group types.
An alternative is per-type VQs. This is possible but will
require more per-transport work. Discovery through the vq
helps keep things contained.
e.g. lack of support for some command can switch to a legacy mode
note that commands are expected to be avolved by adding new
fields to command specific data at the tail, so
we generally do not need feature bits for compatibility.

depends on these structures and is described separately or is
implicit in the structure description.
+Before sending any group administration commands to the device, the driver
+needs to communicate to the device which commands it is going to
+use. Initially (after reset), only two commands are assumed to be used:
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Before sending any other commands for any member of a specific group to
+the device, the driver queries the supported commands via
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and sends the commands it is
+capable of using via VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Commands VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE
+both use the following structure describing the
+command opcodes:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_admin_cmd_list {
+ /* Indicates which of the below fields were returned
+ le64 device_admin_cmd_opcodes[];
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+This structure is an array of 64 bit values in little-endian byte
+order, in which a bit is set if the specific command opcode
+is supported. Thus, \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]} refers to the
+first 64-bit value in this array corresponding to opcodes 0 to
+63, \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[1]} is the second 64-bit value
+corresponding to opcodes 64 to 127, etc.
+For example, the array of size 2 including
+the values 0x3 in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]}
+and 0x1 in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[1]} indicates that only
+opcodes 0, 1 and 64 are supported.
+The length of the array depends on the supported opcodes - it is
+large enough to include bits set for all supported opcodes,
+that is the length can be calculated by starting with the largest
+supported opcode adding one, dividing by 64 and rounding up.
+In other words, for
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE the
+length of \field{command_specific_result} and
+\field{command_specific_data} respectively will be
+$DIV_ROUND_UP(max_cmd, 64) * 8$ where DIV_ROUND_UP is integer division
+with round up and \field{max_cmd} is the largest available command opcode.
+
+The array is also allowed to be larger and to additionally
+include an arbitrary number of all-zero entries.
+
+Accordingly, bits 0 and 1 corresponding to opcode 0
+(VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY) and 1
+(VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE) are
+always set in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]} returned by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY.
+
+For the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY, \field{opcode} is set to 0x0.
+The \field{group_member_id} is unused. It is set to zero by driver.
+This command has no command specific data.
+The device, upon success, returns a result in
+\field{command_specific_result} in the format
+\field{struct virtio_admin_cmd_list} describing the
+list of group administration commands supported for the group type
+specified by \field{group_type}.
+
+For the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE, \field{opcode}
+is set to 0x1.
+The \field{group_member_id} is unused. It is set to zero by driver.
+The \field{command_specific_data} is in the format
+\field{struct virtio_admin_cmd_list} describing the
+list of group administration commands used by the driver
+with the group type specified by \field{group_type}.
+
+This command has no command specific result.
+
+The driver issues the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY to
+query the list of commands valid for this group and before sending
+any commands for any member of a group.
+
+The driver then enables use of some of the opcodes by sending to
+the device the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE with a subset
+of the list returned by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY that is
+both understood and used by the driver.
+
+If the device supports the command list used by the driver, the
+device completes the command with status VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK.
+If the device does not support the command list
+(for example, if the driver is not capable to use
+some required commands), the device
+completes the command with status
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_INVALID_FIELD.
+
+Note: the driver is assumed not to set bits in
+device_admin_cmd_opcodes
+if it is not familiar with how the command opcode
+is used, since the device could have dependencies between
+command opcodes.
+
+It is assumed that all members in a group support and are used
+with the same list of commands. However, for owner devices
+supporting multiple group types, the list of supported commands
+might differ between different group types.

Add commands to find out which commands does each group support,
as well as enable their use by driver.
This will be especially useful once we have multiple group types.
An alternative is per-type VQs. This is possible but will
require more per-transport work. Discovery through the vq
helps keep things contained.
e.g. lack of support for some command can switch to a legacy mode
note that commands are expected to be avolved by adding new
fields to command specific data at the tail, so
we generally do not need feature bits for compatibility.

depends on these structures and is described separately or is
implicit in the structure description.
+Before sending any group administration commands to the device, the driver
+needs to communicate to the device which commands it is going to
+use. Initially (after reset), only two commands are assumed to be used:
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Before sending any other commands for any member of a specific group to
+the device, the driver queries the supported commands via
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and sends the commands it is
+capable of using via VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Commands VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE
+both use the following structure describing the
+command opcodes:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_admin_cmd_list {
+ /* Indicates which of the below fields were returned
+ le64 device_admin_cmd_opcodes[];
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+This structure is an array of 64 bit values in little-endian byte
+order, in which a bit is set if the specific command opcode
+is supported. Thus, \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]} refers to the
+first 64-bit value in this array corresponding to opcodes 0 to
+63, \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[1]} is the second 64-bit value
+corresponding to opcodes 64 to 127, etc.
+For example, the array of size 2 including
+the values 0x3 in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]}
+and 0x1 in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[1]} indicates that only
+opcodes 0, 1 and 64 are supported.
+The length of the array depends on the supported opcodes - it is
+large enough to include bits set for all supported opcodes,
+that is the length can be calculated by starting with the largest
+supported opcode adding one, dividing by 64 and rounding up.
+In other words, for
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE the
+length of \field{command_specific_result} and
+\field{command_specific_data} respectively will be
+$DIV_ROUND_UP(max_cmd, 64) * 8$ where DIV_ROUND_UP is integer division
+with round up and \field{max_cmd} is the largest available command opcode.
+
+The array is also allowed to be larger and to additionally
+include an arbitrary number of all-zero entries.
+
+Accordingly, bits 0 and 1 corresponding to opcode 0
+(VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY) and 1
+(VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE) are
+always set in \field{device_admin_cmd_opcodes[0]} returned by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY.
+
+For the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY, \field{opcode} is set to 0x0.
+The \field{group_member_id} is unused. It is set to zero by driver.
+This command has no command specific data.
+The device, upon success, returns a result in
+\field{command_specific_result} in the format
+\field{struct virtio_admin_cmd_list} describing the
+list of group administration commands supported for the group type
+specified by \field{group_type}.
+
+For the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE, \field{opcode}
+is set to 0x1.
+The \field{group_member_id} is unused. It is set to zero by driver.
+The \field{command_specific_data} is in the format
+\field{struct virtio_admin_cmd_list} describing the
+list of group administration commands used by the driver
+with the group type specified by \field{group_type}.
+
+This command has no command specific result.
+
+The driver issues the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY to
+query the list of commands valid for this group and before sending
+any commands for any member of a group.
+
+The driver then enables use of some of the opcodes by sending to
+the device the command VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE with a subset
+of the list returned by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY that is
+both understood and used by the driver.
+
+If the device supports the command list used by the driver, the
+device completes the command with status VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK.
+If the device does not support the command list
+(for example, if the driver is not capable to use
+some required commands), the device
+completes the command with status
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_INVALID_FIELD.
+
+Note: the driver is assumed not to set bits in
+device_admin_cmd_opcodes
+if it is not familiar with how the command opcode
+is used, since the device could have dependencies between
+command opcodes.
+
+It is assumed that all members in a group support and are used
+with the same list of commands. However, for owner devices
+supporting multiple group types, the list of supported commands
+might differ between different group types.
