Yeah, it should work. I think, we should just always disable every F_HOST_* and F_CSUM right after rte_vhost_driver_register(), and then enable what we need. Might be easier to follow the code this way.

Yeah, we can't really enable checksum offload if UFO is negotiated. The checksum is not negotiated in these old VMs, but IIUC, if the guest driver will be re-initialized, it may pick up new features. Currently possible configurations: 1. CSUM + TSO + ___ + ___ OVS 3.1 with userspace-tso=true 2. ____ + TSO + ECN + ___ OVS 3.1 with userspace-tso=false 3. ____ + ___ + ECN + UFO OVS 2.11 The "___" means not negotiated feature. Only in case 1 we can actually receive packets with offloading configured, because it's the only case where a base prerequisite CSUM is negotiated. Is that correct or am I missing some case? Configurations that we can allow (we can allow any subset of them): a. CSUM + TSO + ___ + ___ b. CSUM + ___ + ECN + ___ c. ____ + TSO + ECN + UFO So, we can only safely upgrade/migrate: 1 --> a 2 --> c 3 --> c "Safe" configurations: a. CSUM + TSO + ___ + ___ c. ____ + TSO + ECN + UFO Configurations we actually want: x. CSUM + TSO + ___ + ___ y. CSUM + ___ + ___ + ___ Logic can be: 1. Try 'a/x' if userspace-tso=true 2. Try 'y' if userspace-tso=false 3. Try 'c' if above failed As far as I understand we can advertise new features, but we can't remove already acked ones. So, the configuration 'c' is a catch-all for broken cases. 'y' will only be possible for new/restarted VMs. Does that make sense? best regards, Ilya Maximets. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
