Maybe we can move the vhost_vdpa_add_status(dev, _S_ACKNOWLEDGE | _S_DRIVER) to vhost_vdpa_set_features then, and let reset_status call vhost_vdpa_reset_device directly. But I'm not 100% sure if I'm missing something, it would need testing.

That is > why I’m wondering what the flags even really mean. vhost (including vDPA and vhost-user) is not a 100% passthrough solution. The VMM emulates a VIRTIO device (e.g. virtio-fs-pci) that has some separate state from the vhost back-end, including the Device Status Register. This is analogous to how passthrough PCI devices still have emulated PCI registers that are not passed through to the physical PCI device. However, just because the vDPA, and now vhost-user with the SET_STATUS message, back-end is not directly exposed to the guest does not mean it should diverge from the VIRTIO specification for no reason. > Another point I made in the commit message is that it is strange that we > reset the status to 0, and then add the ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER while the > VM is still stopped.

While there is no harm in setting those bits, I agree that leaving the Device Status Register at 0 while the VM is stopped would be nicer. > If what you’re saying is that we must set FEATURES_OK only after > ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER, wouldn’t it be still better to set all of these > flags only in vhost_*_dev_start(), but do it in two separate SET_STATUS > calls? The device initialization sequence could be put into vhost_dev_start(): 1. ACKNOWLEDGE | DRIVER 2. FEATURES_OK via vhost_dev_set_features() 3. DRIVER_OK via ->vhost_dev_start() But note that the ->vhost_dev_start() callback is too late to set ACKNOWLEDGE | DRIVER because feature negotiation happens earlier. > (You mentioned the configuration space – is that accessed while between > vhost_dev_stop and vhost_dev_start?)

[PATCH 5/6] vhost-vdpa: Match vhost-user's status reset
vhost-vdpa and vhost-user differ in how they reset the status in their respective vhost_reset_status implementations: vhost-vdpa zeroes it, then re-adds the S_ACKNOWLEDGE and S_DRIVER config bits. S_DRIVER_OK is then set in vhost_vdpa_dev_start(). vhost-user in contrast just zeroes the status, and does no re-add any config bits until vhost_user_dev_start() (where it does re-add all of S_ACKNOWLEDGE, S_DRIVER, and S_DRIVER_OK). There is no documentation for vhost_reset_status, but its only caller is vhost_dev_stop(). So apparently, the device is to be stopped after vhost_reset_status, and therefore it makes more sense to keep the status field fully cleared until the back-end is re-started, which is how vhost-user does it. Make vhost-vdpa do the same -- if nothing else it's confusing to have both vhost implementations handle this differently.
