Subject: [PATCH v2] virtio_net: CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS depends on CTRL_VQ
Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2020 08:22:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200105132120.92370-1-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
The only way for guest to control offloads (as enabled by
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS) is by sending commands
through CTRL_VQ. So it does not make sense to
acknowledge VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS without
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ.
The spec does not outlaw devices with such a configuration, so we have
to support it. Simply clear VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS.
Note that Linux is still crashing if it tries to
change the offloads when there's no control vq.
That needs to be fixed by another patch.

Fixes: 3f93522ffab2 ("virtio-net: switch off offloads on demand if possible on XDP set")
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

Same patch as v1 but update documentation so it's clear it's not
enough to fix the crash.
