This adds a new callback to support device specific reset
behavior. The vdpa bus driver will call the reset function
instead of setting status to zero during resetting.

This does gloss over a significant change though:

Unfortunately this breaks virtio_vdpa:


static void virtio_vdpa_reset(struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
        struct vdpa_device *vdpa = vd_get_vdpa(vdev);

        vdpa_reset(vdpa);
}


and there's no easy way to fix this, kernel can't recover
from a reset failure e.g. during driver unbind.

Yes, but it should be safe with the protection of software IOTLB even
if the reset() fails during driver unbind.

Thanks,

Hmm. I don't see it.
What exactly will happen? What prevents device from poking at
memory after reset? Note that dma unmap in e.g. del_vqs happens
too late.

But I didn't see any problems with touching the memory for virtqueues.

Drivers make the assumption that after reset returns no new
buffers will be consumed. For example a bunch of drivers
call virtqueue_detach_unused_buf.

I'm not sure if I get your point. But it looks like
virtqueue_detach_unused_buf() will check the driver's metadata first
rather than read the memory from virtqueue.

I can't say whether block makes this assumption anywhere.
Needs careful auditing.

The memory should not be freed after dma unmap?

But unmap does not happen until after the reset.

I mean the memory is totally allocated and controlled by the VDUSE
driver. The VDUSE driver will not return them to the buddy system
unless userspace unmap it.

Right. But what stops VDUSE from poking at memory after
reset failed?

And the memory for the bounce buffer should also be safe to be
accessed by userspace in this case.

And what about e.g. interrupts?
E.g. we have this:

        /* Virtqueues are stopped, nothing can use vblk->vdev anymore. */
        vblk->vdev = NULL;

and this is no longer true at this point.

You're right. But I didn't see where the interrupt handler will use
the vblk->vdev.

static void virtblk_done(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        struct virtio_blk *vblk = vq->vdev->priv;

vq->vdev is the same as vblk->vdev.

We will test the vq->ready (will be set to false in del_vqs()) before
injecting an interrupt in the VDUSE driver. So it should be OK?

Maybe not ...  It's not designed for such asynchronous access, so e.g.
there's no locking or memory ordering around accesses.

Needs some comments to explain why it's done like this.

This is used to make sure the userspace can't not inject the interrupt
any more after reset. The vduse_dev_reset() will clear the interrupt
callback and flush the irq kworker.

quoted

BTW device is generally wedged at this point right?
E.g. if reset during initialization fails, userspace
will still get the reset at some later point and be
confused ...

Sorry, I don't get why userspace will get the reset at some later point?

Thanks,
Yongji

I am generally a bit confused about how does reset work with vduse.
We clearly want device to get back to its original state.
How is that supposed to be achieved?
