2017-01-10context: Document VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM reserved feature bit (33)mstsirkin
On most virtio systems, physical addresses are provided from the driver to the device and subsequently used to access memory directly. However, some systems feature an IOMMU that complicates things slightly: - The IOMMU might require configuration for DMA to work at all. Once configured, the driver must pass bus addresses to the device, which are then translated by the IOMMU into physical addresses in memory. - The IOMMU might be bypassed by virtio DMA. In this case, physical addresses must still be provided to the device by the driver, even though an IOMMU appears to be present. This has been solved by the addition of a new reserved feature bit, VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM, to describe the two cases above. Legacy systems will not negotiate the feature, and therefore continue to operate directly on physical addresses. VIRTIO-154 Cc: Michael S.

2016-10-11virtio-net: add Max MTU configuration fieldmstsirkin
It is helpful for a host to indicate it's MTU to be set on guest NICs other than the assumed 1500 byte value. This helps in situations where the host network is using Jumbo Frames, or aiding in PMTU discovery by configuring a homogenous network. It is also helpful for sizing receive buffers correctly. The change adds a new field to configuration area of network devices. It will be used to pass a maximum MTU from the device to the driver. This will be used by the driver as a maximum value for packet sizes during transmission, without segmentation offloading. In addition, in order to support backward and forward compatibility, we introduce a new feature bit called VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU.

2016-02-16init: sort status bitsmstsirkin
Status bit order is inconsistent: they are neither in increasing order nor in the order they are likely to be used. The second approach seems more useful since there aren't that many bits, so the numerical order does not help much. A typical order of use would be: ACKNOWLEDGE DRIVER then either FAILED or FEATURES_OK then either FAILED or DRIVER_OK then DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET (if device detects an error) Sort the bits accordingly.

2015-10-21virtio-blk: restore VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH and VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCEmstsirkin
VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE is important in order to achieve good performance (up to 2x, though more realistically +30-40%) in latency-bound workloads. However, it was removed by mistake together with VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH. In addition, even removing VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH was probably not a great idea, because it simplifies simple drivers (e.g. firmware) that are okay with a writethrough cache but still need data to persist after power loss. What really should have been removed is just the possibility that devices not propose VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH, but even that only deserves a "SHOULD" in the new world of conformance statements. Restore these, with the following changes: * clarify and use conformance statements in order to define writeback and writethrough caching according to what is commonly done by high-end storage. * clarify (with conformance statements) the influence of the VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH feature on caching and how to proceed if only one of VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH and VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE is negotiated. * strengthen the requirement for persisting writes to MUST after a VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH request (and in other cases too involving the new features). The suggested behavior upon feature negotiation is okay for the Linux implementation of virtio1, even after the implementation is modified to support the two new features. This fixes VIRTIO-144.
