At this moment the migration of net features that depends on CVQ is not
possible, as there is no reliable way to restore the device state like mac
address, number of enabled queues, etc to the destination.  This is mainly
caused because the device must only read CVQ, and process all the commands
before resuming the dataplane.

This series uses the VirtIO feature _F_RING_RESET to achieve it, adding an
alternative method to late vq enabling proposed in [1][2].  It expose SVQ to
the device until it process all the CVQ messages, and then replaces the vring
for the guest's one.

A couple of things I forgot to add:
* Assuming the implementation of _F_RING_RESET in vdpa is calling
kernel vdpa ops .set_vq_ready(vq, false). I'm not sure if this is the
best implementation, but it is currently unused in the kernel. At the
same time, .set_vq_ready(vq, true) also enables the vq again.


I think we need another ops, as set_vq_ready() tends to be functional equivalent to queue_enable.

If we reuse set_vq_ready(vq, false), we would get conflict in the future when driver is allowed to stop/resume a specific virtqueue via setting 0 to queue_enable. And that's also the reason why queue_enable is not resued to reset a virtqueue.



As an advantage, it uses a feature well deviced in the VirtIO standard.  As a
disadvantage, current HW already support the late enabling and it does not
support RING_RESET.

This patch must be applied on top of the series ("Enable vdpa net migration
with features depending on CVQ") [1][2].

The patch has been tested with vp_vdpa, but using high IOVA instead of a
sepparated ID for shadow CVQ and shadow temporal vrings.

And with _F_STATE implementation I sent long ago.

Based on this, my suggestion is:
* Leave the late enable for vDPA devices.
* Make them fail if the vDPA parent device does not support it. This
can be considered as a fix.
* Leave _F_RING_RESET to be added on top, as the semantics are not
implemented in vDPA at the moment.

Would that work?


I think it can work, let's start from late enabling which seems lightweight than reset and see. We can leave the vp_vdpa to be done on top with another series.

Thanks
