The VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_XEN_MMAP feature bit was defined in
f21e95ee97d, which has been part of qemu's 8.1.0 release. However, it
seems it was never added to qemu's code, but it is well possible that it
is already used by different front-ends outside of qemu (i.e., Xen).
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SHARED_OBJECT in contrast was added to qemu's code
in 16094766627, but never defined in the vhost-user specification. As a
consequence, both bits were defined to be 17, which cannot work.
Regardless of whether actual code or the specification should take
precedence, F_XEN_MMAP is already part of a qemu release, while
F_SHARED_OBJECT is not. Therefore, bump the latter to take number 18
instead of 17, and add this to the specification.
Take the opportunity to add at least a little note on the
VhostUserShared structure to the specification. This structure is
referenced by the new commands introduced in 16094766627, but was not
defined.

No particular reason, it’s just what I had planned to do for a while in other series that would introduce feature bits (e.g. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-07/msg02452.html).

Not that I’m really opposed to that, but I don’t see the problem with just doing that in the same work that makes qemu actually use this flag, exactly because it’s just a -1/+1 change. I can send a v2, but should I do the same for libvhost-user and define the flag there? Do I have to add a patch to do the same for F_STATUS, which so far only got a placeholder comment? Hanna

Hi! Thanks for the patch, and sorry for not noticing the flag had already been assigned. The patch looks good to me!

Hi Albert, I looked at the shared object code for the first time: - There are memory leaks in virtio_add_dmabuf() and virtio_add_vhost_device() when the UUID was added previously. - The hash table is global and there is no spoofing protection, so vhost-user devices can hijack known UUIDs. Is it possible to associate a vhost_dev owner with each shared object and only allow the owner to remove it? - Is there cleanup code that removes shared objects from the hash table when a vhost_dev is destroyed? Otherwise TYPE_VHOST_DEV shared objects are leaked and their stale vhost_dev pointers could be dereferenced. - virtio-dmabuf.h API naming suggests this is a core VirtIODevice API: virtio_free_resources(), virtio_add_vhost_device(), etc rather than an API for VirtioSharedObject. Can the names be made more specific: virtio_dmabuf_*() or virtio_shobj_*() so it's clear these APIs are related to the dmabufs/shared objects? Thanks, Stefan

In a first thought, I assumed that the backends will be in charge of cleaning their entries from the shared hash table when they are destroyed (prematurely or no).

I guess I'll go with virtio_dmabuf_*, for consistency with the file name. But `shobj` would be ok too. > > Thanks, > Stefan > >

QEMU supports hot (un)plug of vhost-user devices. vhost-user backends may also crash. QEMU cannot rely solely on the backend to take any cleanup action because a backend may be buggy or misbehave.

I would rather not, though, and don’t see a tangible benefit in doing so.

Sorry for the miscommunication, I meant we can leave it as is for now and let it be handled by the commit that uses it. -- viresh
