Hi,
3 weeks ago, I posted a proposal 'Virtio Over Fabrics':
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202304/msg00442.html
Jason and Stefan pointed out that a non-vring based virtqueue has a
chance to overwrite virtqueue instead of using vring virtqueue.
Then I try to abstract virtqueue related methods in this series, the
details changes see the comment of patch 'virtio: abstract virtqueue related
methods'.
Something is still remained:
- __virtqueue_break/__virtqueue_unbreak is supposed to use by internal
virtio core, I'd like to rename them to vring_virtqueue_break
/vring_virtqueue_unbreak. Is this reasonable?
Why? These just set a flag?
Rename '__virtqueue_break' to 'vring_virtqueue_break', to make symbols
exported from virtio_ring.ko have unified prefix 'vring_virtqueue_xxx'.
I just do not see why you need these callbacks at all.
I use these callbacks for break/unbreak device like:
static inline void virtio_break_device(struct virtio_device *dev)
{
struct virtqueue *vq;
spin_lock(&dev->vqs_list_lock);
list_for_each_entry(vq, &dev->vqs, list) {
vq->__break(vq);
}
spin_unlock(&dev->vqs_list_lock);
}
- virtqueue_get_desc_addr/virtqueue_get_avail_addr/virtqueue_get_used_addr
/virtqueue_get_vring is vring specific, I'd like to rename them like
vring_virtqueue_get_desc_addr. Is this reasonable?
- there are still some functions in virtio_ring.c with prefix *virtqueue*,
for example 'virtqueue_add_split', just keep it or rename it to
'vring_virtqueue_add_split'?
