Subject: [PATCH] virtio-blk: use little-endian types for the zoned fields
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 11:17:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617151727.4071754-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)

The zoned block-device fields in the virtio-blk header are typed
__virtio{32,64}, so their endianness follows VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1. The
zoned feature is only defined for VIRTIO 1.x devices, and the virtio
specification defines all of its fields as little-endian. Commit
b16a1756c716 ("virtio_blk: mark all zone fields LE") tagged them
__le* for exactly this reason, but commit f1ba4e674feb ("virtio-blk:
fix to match virtio spec") re-applied the reviewed version of the
original zoned series -- which predated b16a1756 -- and silently
restored the __virtio* typing together with the matching
virtio*_to_cpu() / virtio_cread() accessors in the driver.

Restore the little-endian typing for the zoned configuration-space
characteristics, the zone descriptor, the zone report header and the
ZONE_APPEND in-header sector, and read them with le*_to_cpu() and
virtio_cread_le() to match.

There is no functional change on any spec-compliant device: zoned
requires VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, and for a VERSION_1 device
virtio*_to_cpu() is identical to le*_to_cpu(). The change makes the
uapi types describe the actual wire format and removes a latent
endianness mismatch for a (non-conformant) legacy device on a
big-endian guest.

Testing:
 - Builds with no new warnings; sparse endian-clean (C=2,
   __CHECK_ENDIAN__, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED=y) both before and after.
 - Booted under QEMU with a host-managed zoned device exposed through
   virtio-blk. Zone revalidation, blkzone report and a sequential
   write / write-pointer check return correct values; blktests zbd
   device tests 001-006 (sysfs+ioctl, report zone, reset, write split,
   write ordering, revalidate) pass, with results identical before and
   after this change -- expected, since on a VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 device
   virtio*_to_cpu() == le*_to_cpu().
