[PATCH 14/16] virtio-net: support queue_enable for vhost-user
Posted by Kangjie Xu 3 years, 6 months ago
Support queue enable in vhost-user scenario. It will be called when
a vq reset operation is performed and the vq will be restared.

It should be noted that we can restart the vq when the vhost has
already started. When launching a new vhost-user device, the vhost
is not started and all vqs are not initalized until
VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_STATUS is written. Thus, we should use vhost_started
to differentiate the two cases: vq reset and device start.

So we don't check queue_enable in vhost_dev_start(), does this mean the 
queue_enable is actually meaningless (since the virtqueue is already 
started there)?

And another issue is

peet_attach/peer_detach() "abuse" vhost_set_vring_enable(). This 
probably means we need to invent new type of request instead of re-using 
VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE.

Thanks

1. Yes, we don't need queue_enable in vhost_dev_start(), queue_enable is 
only useful when restarting the queue. I name it as queue_enable() 
simply because it is called when VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_Q_ENABLE is written. 
Would it look better if we rename it as "queue_reenable"?

2. I think inventing a new type of vhost-protocol message can be a good 
choice. However, I don't know much about the vhost protocol. If we want 
to add a new message in vhost protocol, except the documentation and the 
code in qemu, Do we need to submit patches to other projects, e.g. some 
projects like virtio-spec?

Thanks

I think the right approach is probably:

1) when VERSION_1 is negotiated, only start the virtqueue when queue_enable is 1
2) when VERSION_1 is not negotiated, start virtqueue when DRIVER_OK
(vhost_dev_start())

?

Probably not since vhost-user doesn't belong to the spec currently.
The doc in qemu should be sufficient.
