virtio_blk: fix endianess annotations

2008-05-30T05:09:45Z

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 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_blk: allow read-only disks

2008-05-30T05:09:44Z

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. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: add virtio disk geometry feature

2008-05-02T11:50:51Z

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. Signed-off-by: Ryan Harper Reviewed-by: Anthony Liguori Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (modified to single struct)

virtio: de-structify virtio_block status byte

2008-05-02T11:50:45Z

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" Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: remove unused id field from struct virtio_blk_outhdr

2008-02-04T12:50:01Z

This field has been unused since an older version of virtio. Remove it now before we freeze the ABI. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: simplify config mechanism.

2008-02-04T12:49:57Z

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

Block driver using virtio.

2007-10-23T05:49:54Z

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. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Jens Axboe
