Subject: [PATCH v2 02/15] include/hw/virtio: more comment for VIRTIO_F_BAD_FEATURE
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 16:40:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220524154056.2896913-3-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220524154056.2896913-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

When debugging a new vhost user you may be surprised to see
VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL getting squashed in the maze of
backend_features, acked_features and guest_features. Expand the
description here to help the next poor soul trying to work through
this.
