virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows

2026-01-11T14:22:32+00:00

commit 5326ab737a47278dbd16ed3ee7380b26c7056ddd upstream. According to section 5.3.6.2 (Multiport Device Operation) of the virtio spec(version 1.2) a control buffer with the event VIRTIO_CONSOLE_RESIZE is followed by a virtio_console_resize struct containing cols then rows. The kernel implements this the wrong way around (rows then cols) resulting in the two values being swapped.

virtio_console: fix missing byte order handling for cols and rows

2025-05-02T05:50:45+00:00

commit fbd3039a64b01b769040677c4fc68badeca8e3b2 upstream. As per virtio spec the fields cols and rows are specified as little endian. Although there is no legacy interface requirement that would state that cols and rows need to be handled as native endian when legacy interface is used, unlike for the fields of the adjacent struct virtio_console_control, I decided to err on the side of caution based on some non-conclusive virtio spec repo archaeology and opt for using virtio16_to_cpu() much like for virtio_console_control.event. Strictly by the letter of the spec virtio_le_to_cpu() would have been sufficient. But when the legacy interface is not used, it boils down to the same. And when using the legacy interface, the device formatting these as little endian when the guest is big endian would surprise me more than it using guest native byte order (which would make it compatible with the current implementation). Nevertheless somebody trying to implement the spec following it to the letter could end up forcing little endian byte order when the legacy interface is in use. So IMHO this ultimately needs a judgement call by the maintainers.

virtio_console: fix misc probe bugs

2024-10-17T13:24:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit b9efbe2b8f0177fa97bfab290d60858900aa196b ] This fixes the following issue discovered by code review: after vqs have been created, a buggy device can send an interrupt. A control vq callback will then try to schedule control_work which has not been initialized yet. Similarly for config interrupt. Further, in and out vq callbacks invoke find_port_by_vq which attempts to take ports_lock which also has not been initialized. To fix, init all locks and work before creating vqs.

virtio-console: call scheduler when we free unused buffs

2023-07-03T16:15:12+00:00

For virtio-net we were getting CPU stall warnings, and fixed it by calling the scheduler: see f8bb51043945 ("virtio_net: suppress cpu stall when free_unused_bufs"). This driver is similar so theoretically the same logic applies. Signed-off-by: Xianting Tian Message-Id: <20230609131817.712867-3-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

virtio_console: make port class a static const structure

2023-06-23T08:27:20+00:00

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, remove the class field of the ports_driver_data structure and create the port_class static class structure declared at build time which places it into read-only memory, instead of having it to be dynamically allocated at load time.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

2023-03-17T14:16:33+00:00

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in the kernel tree at the same time. Cc: "Rafael J.

virtio_console: Introduce an ID allocator for virtual console numbers

2022-11-23T18:44:26+00:00

When a virtio console port is initialized, it is registered as an hvc console using a virtual console number. If a KVM guest is started with multiple virtio console devices, the same vtermno (or virtual console number) can be used to allocate different hvc consoles, which leads to various communication problems later on. This is also reported in debugfs : # grep vtermno /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/* /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/vport1p1:console_vtermno: 1 /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/vport2p1:console_vtermno: 1 /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/vport3p1:console_vtermno: 2 /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/vport4p1:console_vtermno: 3 Replace the next_vtermno global with an ID allocator and start the allocation at 1 as it is today. Also recycle IDs when a console port is removed.
