[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Notify devices when a bus is attached

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Notify devices when a bus is attached

[Jesse Larrew]

The virtio-net driver can determine the required size of the config struct
dynamically by inspecting the feature bits in host_features. The natural
place to perform this calculation is within the driver's init routine.
However, host_features isn't set until later when the device is plugged
into a bus.

VirtioBusClass includes a callback method, device_plugged(), that allows
the bus to perform additional setup tasks when a device is plugged into the
bus. This patch set similarly extends VirtioDeviceClass to add a callback,
bus_plugged(), to allow devices the same setup opportunity.

This allows virtio-net to defer the config size calculation until
host_features is available, which I think will be a better long-term fix to
the problem addressed in e9016ee2bda1b7757072b856b2196f691aee3388.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] virtio: add bus_plugged() callback to VirtioDeviceClass

[Jesse Larrew]

Virtio devices are initialized prior to plugging them into a bus. However,
other initializations (such as host_features) don't occur until after the
device is plugged into the bus. If a device needs to modify it's
configuration based on host_features, then it needs to be notified when the
bus is attached and host_features is available for use.

This patch extends struct VirtioDeviceClass to add a bus_plugged() method.
If implemented by a device, it will be called after the device is attached
to a bus.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] virtio-net: implement bus_plugged()

[Jesse Larrew]

Use the new bus_plugged() callback to calculate and (if necessary) resize
the config struct based on the requested host_features. This will help to
keep the size of the config struct as small as possible, which will help
prevent it from requiring a larger BAR size as future features are added.

I think this is backwards...

First of all, why is host_features not available before?

A hook on the bus makes sense because it allows central handling for any
devices on that bus.
However for a device, first TypeInfo::instance_init is run, then
qdev_set_parent_bus() connects the bus and finally DeviceClass::realize
is run - and we want to postpone realize further in the future.

So why can't this be in VirtioDevice's or VirtIONet's realize method? At
realize time we should definitely be on the bus in this case. I.e.,
create vdev->config only after we know how large it needs to be rather
than creating and later resizing it, which might fail.

Regards,
Andreas

Yes! This would do perfectly.

It appears that virtio hasn't been completely converted to use realize() yet.
Currently, device_realize() in virtio.c simply calls virtio_device_init(),
which looks like this:

static int virtio_device_init(DeviceState *qdev)
{
    VirtIODevice *vdev = VIRTIO_DEVICE(qdev);
    VirtioDeviceClass *k = VIRTIO_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(qdev);
    assert(k->init != NULL);
    if (k->init(vdev) < 0) {
        return -1;
    }
    virtio_bus_plug_device(vdev);
    return 0;
}

VirtioDeviceClass::init() calls virtio_init(), which allocates the config
struct. Then virtio_bus_plug_device() is called to attach the bus (and to
populate host_features). I wonder if it's safe to call
virtio_bus_plug_device() sooner...

Hi Andreas,

The major issue here is that host_features is modified after virtio 
devices are inited.

in virtio_pci_device_plugged:
     proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY;
     proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_BAD_FEATURE;
     proxy->host_features = virtio_bus_get_vdev_features(bus,
proxy->host_features);

and virtio_pci_device_plugged must be called after the virtio device is 
inited.

Is that possible with hotplugging virtio device on virtio-mmio?

Hi Jesse,
Maybe with little change.

virtio_pci_device_plugged need the virtio-device to be initialized.
