Modern machines are expected to be used by newer setups with
modern guests aiming the use of the latest features.

Enable modern and disable legacy for virtio devices
plugged into PCIe ports (Root ports or Downstream ports).
Using the Virtio 1 mode will remove the limitation
of the number of devices that can be attached to a machine
by removing the need for the IO BAR.

Convert 'disable-modern' and 'disable-legacy' properties to OnOffAuto
with default Auto.

Hi,

v1 -> v2:
  - Stick to existing defaults for old machine types (Michael S. Tsirkin)

If everyone agrees, I am thinking about getting it into 2.7
to avoid the ~15 virtio devices limitation per machine.

Notes:
   - The non PCIe machines behaviour should remain the same.
   - I hope is OK to make the disable-* properties OnOffAuto. Previous setups
     using them can be affected, but libvirt is not using them yet (as far as I know)
   - My tests were limited to checking all possible disable-* configurations (and make check for all archs)

Thanks,
Marcel

why? could you explain pls? isn't onoffauto compatible with bit
properties?

drop the () around == - logic and math mix naturally in C.

also, pls put || at end of line, not at the beginning of
continuation. this way you can see there is
continuation as you read the code naturally.

So this is a bit messy.

Can we do:

	if (pcie_port)
		default_disable_legacy = false;
	else
		default_disable_legacy = true;

now

	if (proxy->disable_legacy == ON_OFF_AUTO_ON ||
		(proxy->disable_legacy == ON_OFF_AUTO_AUTO && default_disable_legacy))

		proxy->flags |= VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_DISABLE_LEGACY;
	else
		proxy->flags &= ~VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_DISABLE_LEGACY;

?


Also, I wonder how does this interact with devices that play with
these flags themselves, like virtio gpu?
I guess we could just set VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_DISABLE_LEGACY, avoid clearing it.

Setting disable modern might be problematic for same reason, not sure what
to do about that one.

Did I miss anything?

Yes, indeed. the value of 'Off' is replaced by 'Auto', but the semantics
for the names "on/off" remain.

The line length would be more than 80, so I needed to chose a way to "lose".
I'll add || at the end of the line, sure.

We have 2 *different* logic:
  -disable-modern: make it *false* if plugged into a pcie_port or the user requested it.
     In this case update QEMU_PCI_CAP_EXPRESS flag accordingly.
  -disble-legacy: make it *true* if plugged into a pcie_port or the user requested it.

If the code seems complicated I'll try to make it more readable.
Maybe I'll add a switch for each flag.

I thought this method is called before any other init call sites. (like virtio gpu or serial)
I'll double-check and update accordingly.

I'll check this code runs before the other specific devices init code.
If it runs before, we have no problem here, otherwise I'll need to re-think
this patch.

Thank you for the review and I'll provide the answers in the next version.

I have the same question ;)

virtio input forces virtio 1.0 only too.
I think they must be changed to set the new property variables instead.

I think we should simply drop the flags and use bool variables instead.

Also while being at it:  Should we enable modern by default for all pci
devices?

cheers,

Hi Gerd,

As I explained to Michael, I saw the 'off' value goes from 0 to 2, bu the name remains the same... :)
I wasn't sure if is possible to use 0/1 instead of on/off, then we would have a problem.

I can do that. I preferred a minimalist approach since we are in "hard-freeze"
and I wanted to make the change for 2.7 .

You mean OnOffAuto new fields, right?
We would need a wrapper since "auto" mode is not an actual value.
But is doable, of course.

I am not against it, if Michael approves I'll change that too, even for 2.7

Thanks,
Marcel

Stupid question: Does this limitation show up for legacy and
transitional, but not for modern?

Would it make sense then to default to modern for PCIe and transitional
for non-PCIe?

(The term "virtio-1" mode always confuses me a bit; this may be because
ccw unlike pci does not have modern-only devices - and even if we had,
basically the only difference would be that we'd disallow devices
without the VERSION_1 feature.)

Yes, with PCIe we need to disable the IO Bars.

Here is a short explanation:
The root cause it the PCIe architecture being "point to point" rather than 'shared bus'.
Each PCIe port supports only one device (multiple functions though) but is exposed
as a PCI bridge. The firmware will assign a 4k IO window for each bridge if
a device with IO BARs is attached to it.

So the firmware will allocate a 4K IO range for each PCIe port -> for each device.
Since the IO space is pretty limited we can support around 15 devices with IO BARs
attached to PCIe ports.

There are other ways to deal with the limitation like tweaking the firmware
to assign a smaller IO window (no PCI compliant, but it should work)

Looking only at the virtio scope, disabling legacy and enabling modern
should be enough.

Yes. this patch only does the first part (deals only with the PCIe limitation),
but the next version will also include 'transitional' virtio as default for non PCIe slots.

I was thinking about new variables, set to true for "on", false for
"off", and whatever we want do by default for "auto".

But moving that evaluation to small wrapper functions and just call them
when needed (which shouldn't be that often) instead of storing the
evaluation result in variables is fine too.

cheers,

Thanks for the explanation!

OK, sounds sensible. The transport-agnostic virtio-1 code should be
pretty sane at this point.
