2012-07-30virtio-blk: return VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH to header.Rusty Russell1-0/+5
This got renamed and clarified, but let's not break any userspace out there. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-07-30virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethroughPaolo Bonzini1-1/+4
This patch adds support for the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature, which exposes the cache mode in the configuration space and lets the driver modify it. The cache mode is exposed via sysfs. Even if the host does not support the new feature, the cache mode is visible (thanks to the existing VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE), but not modifiable.

2011-05-30virtio: add full three-clause BSD text to headers.Rusty Russell1-1/+24
It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to slow virtio adoption. I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

2010-02-24virtio_blk: add block topology supportChristoph Hellwig1-0/+13
Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the storage topology. Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up, but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in the storage world.

2009-10-22virtio_blk: Revert serial number supportRusty Russell1-4/+0
This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a". Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this. This is coming back later in a cleaner form. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: john cooper <john.cooper@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-10-22virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.hChristian Borntraeger1-0/+1
Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

2009-09-23virtio_blk: add support for cache flushChristoph Hellwig1-0/+15
Recent qemu has added a VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH flag to advertise that the virtual disk has a volatile write cache that needs to be flushed. In case we see this feature implement tell the Linux block layer about the fact and use the new VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to flush the cache when required. This allows for an correct and simple implementation of write barriers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-09-23virtio: add virtio IDs fileFernando Luis Vazquez Cao1-3/+0
Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-07-30lguest and virtio: cleanup struct definitions to Linux style.Rusty Russell1-4/+2
I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12 months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right. Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
2009-06-09Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4ajohn cooper1-0/+4
This patch extracts the opaque data from pci i/o region 0 via the added VIRTIO_BLK_F_IDENTIFY field. By convention this data takes the form of that returned by an ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE command, however the driver (except for structure size) makes no interpretation of the data. The structure data is copied wholesale to userspace via a HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl command (eg: hdparm -i <dev>).

2009-05-18virtio_blk: SG_IO passthru supportHannes Reinecke1-0/+8
Add support for SG_IO passthru to virtio_blk. We add the scsi command block after the normal outhdr, and the scsi inhdr with full status information aswell as the sense buffer before the regular inhdr.

2008-07-25virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from hostChristian Borntraeger1-0/+3
Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.

2008-07-25virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementationsRusty Russell1-0/+2
We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.

2008-05-30virtio_blk: fix endianess annotationsChristian Borntraeger1-4/+4
Since commit 72e61eb40b55dd57031ec5971e810649f82b0259 (virtio: change config to guest endian) config space is no longer fixed endian. Lets change the virtio_blk_config variables. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-05-30virtio_blk: allow read-only disksChristian Borntraeger1-0/+1
Hello Rusty, sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should be considered read-only.

2008-05-02virtio: add virtio disk geometry featureRyan Harper1-0/+7
Rather than faking up some geometry, allow the backend to push the disk geometry via virtio pci config option. Keep the old geo code around for compatibility.

2008-05-02virtio: de-structify virtio_block status byteRusty Russell1-6/+1
Ron Minnich points out that a struct containing a char is not always sizeof(char); simplest to remove the structure to avoid confusion. Cc: "ron minnich" <rminnich@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: remove unused id field from struct virtio_blk_outhdrRusty Russell1-2/+0
This field has been unused since an older version of virtio. Remove it now before we freeze the ABI. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au.
2008-02-04virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell1-9/+13
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell1-0/+51
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.
