[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ccw interpretation AR compliance improvements
Posted by Halil Pasic 6 years, 9 months ago
There were some missing checks. There might be some more missing.  For details,
see the individual patches.

Regarding testing: did not do much more than a simple smoke test
with virtio-ccw.

Halil Pasic (2):
  s390x/css: check ccw address validity
  s390x/css: fix bits must be zero check for TIC

The checks are not perfect? Colour me shocked ;)

I think we need a way to throw random channel programs at a channel
device...

By random do you mean random random, or do you mean carefully crafted
to provoke (and verify) certain responses. If it's more like the second
case I've actually wrote something (a kernel driver) for 'internal use'
but at the moment it's limited to indirect data access support (no test
cases for invalid invalid channel programs). The 'internal guys' say it
probably ain't interesting for the rest of the world make this external,
but if you are interested I could send you the patch these days.

That's what I've been thinking of. Standalone guest code would be even
better (can be integrated into automatic testing), but it's certainly
useful.

Would be great if you could make this available. It is especially
interesting for me, but possibly for other folks working on s390 as well.

Might be good together with an "eat this" channel device in qemu.

It is very wip and I don't feel comfortable with sharing it
with the world yet. But I'm definitely interested in making this
available. I haven't figured out what would be the best way to make
it available, and I hope you can help me with that.

If course I do have a qemu counterpart.

To sum it up, one I'm done with the next iteration I'm gonna send
you with the patches unless you say otherwise.

Do you have a git tree somewhere you can dump it?

And of course I'd love to see that as well :)
