Hi Hanna, The VIRTIO spec lists the Device Initialization sequence including the bits set in the Device Status Register here: https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.2/csd01/virtio-v1.2-csd01.html#x1-1070001 ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER must be set before FEATURES_OK. DRIVER_OK is set after FEATURES_OK. The driver may read the Device Configuration Space once ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER are set. QEMU's vhost code should follow this sequence (especially for vDPA where full VIRTIO devices are implemented). vhost-user is not faithful to the VIRTIO spec here. That's probably due to the fact that vhost-user didn't have the concept of the Device Status Register until recently and back-ends mostly ignore it. Please do the opposite of this patch: bring vhost-user in line with the VIRTIO specification so that the Device Initialization sequence is followed correctly. I think vhost-vdpa already does the right thing. > > diff --git a/hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c b/hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c > index f7fd19a203..0cde8b40de 100644 > --- a/hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c > +++ b/hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c > @@ -1294,8 +1294,6 @@ static void vhost_vdpa_reset_status(struct vhost_dev > *dev) > } > > vhost_vdpa_reset_device(dev); > - vhost_vdpa_add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_ACKNOWLEDGE | > - VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER); > memory_listener_unregister(&v->listener); > } > > @@ -1334,7 +1332,9 @@ static int vhost_vdpa_dev_start(struct vhost_dev *dev, > bool started) > } > memory_listener_register(&v->listener, dev->vdev->dma_as); > > - return vhost_vdpa_add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK); > + return vhost_vdpa_add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_ACKNOWLEDGE | > + VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER | > + VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK); > } > > return 0; > -- > 2.41.0 >
