Move bindings from opaque to DeviceState.
This gives us better type safety with no performance cost.

Nack. This is going the wrong direction QOM-wise and you among all
others know that from PCI host bridges!

A core issue being addressed here is that virtio devices are modelled
neither in the regular qdev way nor the QOM way. They don't inherit
correctly and use their own set of common-init functions - one side
effect of Fred's series was to make them first-class QOM citizens. QOM
like qdev doesn't support multi-inheritence, so the discussed approach
Fred is trying to implement is to have both a VirtioDevice as base class
for Virtio{Block,...}Device and PCIDevice/SysBusDevice/... as base class
for a virtio bridge device with a virtio-bus, on which only virtio is
spoken and pure VirtioDevices can sit (which as you say have device IDs
but not all PCI properties).
What remained under discussion AFAIU was how to expose this modelling
construct to the user - Peter aiming to expose this to the user and me
proposing to hide this (for PCI) as an internal implementation detail.

Whether DeviceState or a new VirtioDevice or something else is being
used in the API is a different issue that I don't really mind.

Well, that's just a difference of VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(d) vs. container_of.

But the patch is still an improvement.  In fact it should a logical
first step even in Peter's refactoring (where the devicestate is
replaced by d->parent_bus or d->parent_bus->parent).

VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(d) would be acceptable, sure. But as-is this patch just
pushes unnecessary work on Fred, me, you or anyone else who works with QOM.

What's VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY? Note this is data path we do not want extra
code.

No, the core issue is unsafe void * use.

My complaint is the direct access of pci_dev, qdev, etc. parent fields
in many places as the main change of this patch. Those mean more places
to touch in a future patch.

Use of any new-style macro hiding these - wherever the particular one
suggested may be defined or whether it needs to be added - is better.

If performance of dynamic_cast is an issue - something I'd leave you to
discuss with Anthony - you can just do a C cast directly. Just don't
spread this qdev paradigm further please.

Regards,
Andreas

OK so just

#define VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(d) container_of(d, VirtIOPCIProxy, pci_dev.qdev)

is OK with you?

Well, at least it's better than inlining it...

I would've expected to see VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(obj) defined as
OBJECT_CHECK(VirtIOPCIProxy, (obj), TYPE_something) somewhere.

If, as you imply with "data path", this were a problem, you could just
do VirtIOPCIProxy *proxy = (VirtIOPCIProxy *)d inline to allow for
VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY() to be used in the QOM sense elsewhere.

I don't get it - where?
Since we don't do runtime checks we need container_of -
safer than a plain cast.

Anyway, when you start doing your QOM conversions it will be
easy to do what you like.

I don't get what you don't get - QOM has been around for nearly a year
now and it's neither my invention nor my conversion, it's ours! It's an
object-orientation framework for C to avoid a flag day for rewriting
everything in a new language, while allowing us to get a number of new
features.

In object-oriented languages like C++, C# or Java there is no concept of
accessing parent state by name with or without container_of(); that is a
QOM implementation detail as long as we don't generate the parent's
fields in the actual struct via some QIDL'ish preprocessing or by
switching to a language that supports it. Does this explain better?

Every maintainer should review patches to conform to QOM, just like I
review for Coding Style issues even if I don't personally agree to every
bit of what became the consensus. That has exactly nothing to do with
me, I may be many things but not QOM maintainer. Having Anthony or any
single maintainer follow-up everyone's devices with fixes for QOM simply
doesn't scale. And when I do refactorings to get something particular
accomplished, I can't do any major benchmarking of each device, so I
need an easy way to tell if someone was merely sloppy or utterly clever
about the choice of macros.

Late rebellions against QOM are just as tiring as the constant Coding
Style wars in the audio code. If you have an idea to improve QOM cast
performance (maybe disable some checks for non-debug builds?) that would
benefit everyone rather than just having PCI/virtio be different from
the rest of the code base.

Having said that, yes, container_of() assures that VirtIOPCIProxy has a
PCIDevice field somewhere, but when you pass (Device *)sth_not_a_device
in the caller, that check becomes totally moot. Having a typed argument
is not moot, of course (I believe Fred was proposing the more specific
VirtioDevice* for that). But since there are only two callers passing in
DeviceState* to the bind function today (maybe four soon) I fail to see
the benefit of container_of() you are trying to sell me here...

Wha'ts the QOM way to get virtio pci proxy from
devicestate?
C cast is not what I am looking for.

Looking into virtio-pci.c it looks like virtio has a similar deficiency
as EHCI USB (my recent series): We lack an abstract intermediate type
TYPE_VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY to match the struct VirtIOPCIProxy shared by its
subtypes:

Object
- DeviceState
  - PCIDevice
    - VirtIOPCIProxy
      - virtio-scsi-pci
      - virtio-rng-pci
      ...

Not sure if that can be extracted from Fred's series already; otherwise
I can send you a patch.

Then you can do the mentioned:

#define VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(obj) \
    OBJECT_CHECK(VirtIOPCIProxy, (obj), TYPE_VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY)

DeviceState *dev = ...;
VirtIOPCIProxy *proxy = VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY(dev);

where you consider it acceptable performance-wise and a
FAST_VIRTIO_PCI_PROXY_FROM_DEVICE(dev) or so elsewhere.

I'd like to avoid the dependency - let me do the rework
using simple container_of meanwhile, then Fred's series
can change the cast in a single place.
