[virtio-dev] [VHOST USER SPEC PATCH] vhost-user.rst: add clarifying language about protocol negotiation

[Alex Bennée]

In practice the protocol negotiation between vhost master and slave
occurs before the final feature negotiation between backend and
frontend. This has lead to an inconsistency between the rust-vmm vhost
implementation and the libvhost-user library in their approaches to
checking if all the requirements for REPLY_ACK processing were met.
As this is purely a function of the protocol negotiation and not of
interest to the frontend lets make the language clearer about the
requirements for a successfully negotiated protocol feature.

I had difficulty understanding this change and its purpose. I think it's
emphasizing what the spec already says: VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES
can be sent after VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES was reported by
VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES.

BTW Paolo has just sent a patch here to use the terms "frontend" and
"backend" with different meanings from how you are using them:

Missing "is". Shortening the sentence fixes that without losing clarity:
s/something that/negotiation/

> +parts of the backend implementation it is permissible to for the master

"vhost-user device backend" is often used to refer to the slave (to
avoid saying the word "slave") but "backend" is being used in a
different sense here. That is confusing.

> +to mask the feature bit from the guest.

I think this sentence effectively says "the master MAY mask the
VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES bit from the VIRTIO feature bits". That
is not really accurate since VIRTIO devices do not advertise this
feature bit and so it can never be negotiated through the VIRTIO feature
negotiation process.

How about referring to the details from the VIRTIO 1.1 specification
instead. Something like this:

  Note that VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES is the UNUSED (30) feature
  bit defined in `VIRTIO 1.1 6.3 Legacy Interface: Reserved Feature Bits
  <https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/cs01/virtio-v1.1-cs01.html#x1-4130003>`_.
  VIRTIO devices do not advertise this feature bit and therefore VIRTIO
  drivers cannot negotiate it.

  This reserved feature bit was reused by the vhost-user protocol to add
  vhost-user protocol feature negotiation in a backwards compatible
  fashion. Old vhost-user master and slave implementations continue to
  work even though they are not aware of vhost-user protocol feature
  negotiation.

I couldn't find any place where vhost-user.rst states that
VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES has to come before
VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES?

The only order I found was:

1. VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES to determine whether protocol features are
   supported.
2. VHOST_USER_GET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES to fetch available protocol feature bits.
3. VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES to set protocol feature bits.
4. Using functionality that depends on enabled protocol feature bits.

Is the purpose of this sentence to add a new requirement to the spec
that "VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES MUST be sent before
VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES"?

> So the

"the feature" == VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES?

Well and also the protocol feature is considered negotiated after that
sequence and doesn't require the feature bit to also be negotiated. I
think I read the spec properly when I submitted:

  https://github.com/rust-vmm/vhost/pull/24

however it was implied rather than explicit. I was hoping to make that
clearer but obviously I've failed with this iteration.

Yeah we have mixed up terminology - the relationship between QEMU and a
vhost-user daemon is separate from the relationship between a VirtIO
device driver (in the guest) and the device implementation (as done by
the combination of QEMU and the vhost-user daemon).

I wish we had clearer terminology sections throughout both specs.

OK - so does that mean that feature bit will remain UNUSED for ever
more?

What about other feature bits? Is it permissible for the
master/requester/vhost-user front-end/QEMU to filter any other feature
bits the slave/vhost-user backend/daemon may offer from being read by
the guest driver when it reads the feature bits?

No I don't want to add a new sequence requirement. But if SET_FEATURES
doesn't acknowledge the VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES bit should that
stop the processing of
VHOST_USER_GET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES/VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES
messages? AFAICT SET_FEATURES should be irrelevant to the negotiation of
the PROTOCOL_FEATURES right?

It's unlikely to be repurposed in VIRTIO. It can never be used by VIRTIO
in a situation that overlaps with vhost-user. That leaves cases that
don't overlap with vhost-user but that is unlikely too since the bit had
a previous meaning (before vhost-user) and repurposing it would cause
confusion for very old drivers or devices.

Yes, the vhost-user frontend can decide how it wants to expose
VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES feature bits on the VIRTIO device:

1. Pass-through. Allow the vhost-user device backend to control the
   feature bit.
2. Disabling. Clear a feature bit because it cannot be supported for
   some reason (e.g. VIRTIO 1.1 packed vrings are not implemented and
   therefore enabling them would prevent live migration).
3. Enabling. Enable a feature bit that does not rely on vhost-user
   device backend support. For example, message-signalled interrupts
   for virtio-mmio.

I agree, the value of VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES in
VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES does not matter according to the spec:

  Only legal if feature bit ``VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES`` is
  present in ``VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES``.

Since it does not mention "set in VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES" we have to
assume existing vhost-user device backends do not care whether the
vhost-user frontend includes the bit in VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES or not.

Yes, it's easier to just use higher bits.
If it ever is reused we will just send that bit separately.
