Subject: [PATCH v2 06/12] virtio_pci: read the device memory buffer registers
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 21:14:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818211425.91009-7-graf@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818211425.91009-1-graf@amazon.com>
In preparation to support VIRTIO_F_DMB, read the two registers a device
uses to describe its Device Memory Buffer. Both are read-only le16
fields at the end of the common configuration structure. dmb_shm_id
names the VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY_CFG capability that
virtio_pci_find_shm_cap() has to find to map the region, and is valid
once the feature is negotiated. dmb_mem_type describes the memory the
region is made of: VIRTIO_DMB_MEM_TYPE_COHERENT means a write by either
side becomes visible to the other with no cache maintenance by the
driver. It is valid as soon as the device offers the feature, so a
driver that does not support the value it reads can decline the offer
instead of failing the device afterwards.
Add both fields, VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_DMB_SHM_ID and
VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_DMB_MEM_TYPE for the offsets check_offsets() asserts
them against, and vp_modern_get_dmb_shm_id() and
vp_modern_get_dmb_mem_type() to read them. vp_modern_probe() capped the
common cfg mapping at the end of admin_queue_num, exactly where
dmb_shm_id starts, so extend it to the end of dmb_mem_type.
vp_modern_map_capability() takes that as an upper bound, so a device with
a shorter common cfg maps what it has and mdev->common_len records how
much.
