Subject: [PATCH v3 01/21] include/hw/virtio: more comment for VIRTIO_F_BAD_FEATURE
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2022 20:21:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220726192150.2435175-2-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220726192150.2435175-1-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.
