Please use either "device" or "driver" instead of "we" everywhere. - -2) 3.2.2 Receiving Used Buffers From The Device: -Is it intentional that the if statement body doesn't disable the interrupts again and the loop continues running with interrupts enabled? - -3) 4.1.2 PCI Device Layout -It would be nice to know if there is any guidance on the standard PCI register implementation, such as the PCI Command and Status registers. Even if there is none, the document should mention it, rather than leave the developer guessing if something would break, e.g. if they don't implement the Interrupt Status bit in the Status register. - -4) 4.1.2.1 Common configuration structure layout: -I'm confused. Is this the "virtio header" mentioned later in the text? If yes, please use a single term throughout the document to avoid confusion. If not, then what is a "virtio header"? Searching for that term doesn't find a definition. - -5) Any alignment requirements for these three fields? Whether or not there are any, please state so explicitly. - -6) 4.1.2.2 ISR status structure layout -It would be helpful if this section provided the meaning of each bit in the register. - -7) 4.1.3.1.1 Virtio Device Configuration Layout Detection -The double "and" on the first line makes the first two sentences ambiguous. Suggest to rephrase as: "Virtio Device Configuration Layout includes the following structures: virtio configuration header, Notification, ISR Status, device configuration." - -8) By the way, this is the only occurrence of the word combination "virtio configuration header" in the document. Makes trying to find what it is impossible. - -9) (offset) Any alignment requirements? E.g. is it OK to align structures at an odd offset? Whether there are or aren't any alignment requirements, please state so explicitly. - -10) 4.1.3.1.2 Queue Vector Configuration -Some of the information from section 8.4 needs to be moved to here, for example that the device may have an MSI-X table size other than 2048. Otherwise, this reads as though the MSI-X table must always have 2048 entries. - -11) Please explicitly describe the device behavior when writing a vector value beyond the MSI-X table size. - -12) 4.1.3.4 Notification of Device Configuration Changes -Please use "PCI configuration space" and "device configuration state" consistently, without abbreviation. For example, from the first sentence it looks like "device configuration state" can be changed, but the first bullet claims it's "configuration space". So, which one? Does "configuration space" mean "PCI configuration space" or is it a synonym for "device configuration state"? Because those are two different things; the driver needs to know what exactly to rescan. - -13) Another thing not entirely clear: does the driver need to do anything if it read the "virtio header" (whatever it is) from a BAR rather than PCI config space? - -Proposal(s): - -diff --git a/content.tex b/content.tex -index 2adc393..d6c2591 100644 ---- a/content.tex -+++ b/content.tex -@@ -760,6 +760,8 @@ for (;;) { - - if (vq->last_seen_used != le16_to_cpu(vring->used.idx)) - break; -+ -+ vring_disable_interrupts(vq); - } - - struct vring_used_elem *e = vring.used->ring[vq->last_seen_used%vsz]; -@@ -797,6 +799,17 @@ into virtio general and bus-specific sections. - - Virtio devices are commonly implemented as PCI devices. - -+A Virtio device can be implemented as any kind of PCI device: -+a Conventional PCI device, a PCI-X device or a PCI Express -+device.
