Hi Michael: Any thoughts on this approach? My understanding is that dropping legacy support will simplify a lot of stuffs. Thanks So basically the main condition is that strong memory barriers aren't needed for virtio, smp barriers are enough. Are there architectures besides x86 (where it's kind of true - as long as one does not use non-temporals) where that is true? If all these architectures are LE then we don't need to worry about endian support in the hardware. So I agree it's better not to add those stuffs in either qemu or kernel. See below. In other words I guess yes we could have qemu limit things to x86 and then just pretend to the card that it's virtio 1. So endian-ness we can address. Problem is virtio 1 has effects beyond this. things like header size with mergeable buffers off for virtio net. So I am inclined to say let us not do the "pretend it's virtio 1" game in qemu. I fully agree. Let us be honest to the card about what happens. But if you want to limit things to x86 either in kernel or in qemu, that's ok by me. So what I want to do is: 1) mandate 1.0 device on the kernel 2) don't try to pretend transitional or legacy device on top of modern device in Qemu, so qemu will fail to start if vhost-vDPA is started

uAPI seems fine since all the vDPA parent mandates
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM which implies 1.0 devices.
For legacy guests, it can still work since Qemu will mediate when
necessary (e.g doing the endian conversion).

Hmm. If we do this, don't we still have a problem with
legacy drivers which don't ack 1.0?
Yes, but it's not something that is introduced in this

My point is this neither fixes or prevents this.
So my suggestion is to finally add ioctls along the lines
of PROTOCOL_FEATURES of vhost-user.
Then that one can have bits for legacy le, legacy be and modern.
BTW I looked at vhost-user and it does not look like that

Right.
Note 1.0 affects ring endianness which is not mediated in QEMU
so QEMU can't pretend to device guest is 1.0.
Right, I plan to send patches to do mediation in the
Qemu to unbreak legacy
drivers.
Thanks
I frankly think we'll need PROTOCOL_FEATURES anyway, it's
too useful ...
so why not teach drivers about it and be done with it? You
can't emulate
legacy on modern in a cross endian situation because of vring
endian-ness ...
So the problem still. This can only work when the hardware can support
legacy vring endian-ness.
Consider:
1) the leagcy driver support is non-normative in the spec
2) support a transitional device in the kenrel may requires the
hardware
support and a burden of kernel codes
I'd rather simply drop the legacy driver support
My point is this patch does not drop legacy support. It merely mandates
modern support.
I am not sure I get here. This patch fails the set_feature if VERSION_1
is not negotiated. This means:
1) vDPA presents a modern device instead of transitonal device
2) legacy driver can't be probed
What I'm missing?
Hi Michael:
Do you agree to find the way to present modern device? We need a conclusion
to make the netlink API work to move forward.
Thanks
I think we need a way to support legacy with no data path overhead. qemu
setting VERSION_1 for a legacy guest affects the ring format so it does
not really work. This seems to rule out emulating config space entirely
in userspace.
So I'd rather drop the legacy support in this case. It never work for
vDPA in the past and virtio-vDPA doesn't even need that. Note that
ACCESS_PLATFORM is mandated for all the vDPA parents right now which
implies modern device and LE. I wonder what's the value for supporting
legacy in this case or do we really encourage vendors to ship card with
legacy support (e.g endian support in the hardware)?
So I think we should add an ioctl along the lines of
protocol features. Then I think we can reserve feature bits
for config space format: legacy LE, legacy BE, modern.
We had VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN but this will complicates both the vDPA
parent and management. What's more important, legacy behaviour is not
restrictied by the spec.
Querying the feature bits will provide us with info about
what does the device support. Acking them will tell device
what does guest need.
I think this can work, but I wonder how much we can gain from such
complexitiy.
Thanks
to have a simple and easy
abstarction in the kenrel. For legacy driver in the guest,
hypervisor is in
charge of the mediation:
1) config space access endian conversion
2) using shadow virtqueue to change the endian in the vring
Thanks
I'd like to avoid shadow virtqueue hacks if at all possible.
Last I checked performance wasn't much better than just emulating
virtio in software.
I think the legacy driver support is just a nice to have. Or do you see
any value to that? I guess for mellanox and intel, only modern device is
supported in the hardware.
Thanks

This seems to rule out emulating config space entirely in userspace. So I think we should add an ioctl along the lines of protocol features. Then I think we can reserve feature bits for config space format: legacy LE, legacy BE, modern. Querying the feature bits will provide us with info about what does the device support.

Right.

Right, I plan to send patches to do mediation in the Qemu to
unbreak legacy
drivers.

useful ...

So the problem still. This can only work when the hardware can support

Consider:

My point is this patch does not drop legacy support. It merely mandates
modern support.
I am not sure I get here. This patch fails the set_feature if
VERSION_1 is not negotiated. This means:
1) vDPA presents a modern device instead of transitonal device
2) legacy driver can't be probed
What I'm missing?
Hi Michael:
Do you agree to find the way to present modern device? We need a
conclusion to make the netlink API work to move forward.
Thanks
to have a simple and easy
abstarction in the kenrel. For legacy driver in the guest,
hypervisor is in
charge of the mediation:
1) config space access endian conversion
2) using shadow virtqueue to change the endian in the vring
Thanks
I'd like to avoid shadow virtqueue hacks if at all possible.
Last I checked performance wasn't much better than just emulating
virtio in software.
I think the legacy driver support is just a nice to have. Or do you
see any value to that? I guess for mellanox and intel, only modern
device is supported in the hardware.
Thanks

Hmm. If we do this, don't we still have a problem with
legacy drivers which don't ack 1.0?
Note 1.0 affects ring endianness which is not mediated in QEMU
so QEMU can't pretend to device guest is 1.0.
