The following patch gets my s390 virtio guest working again, but I doubt 
it's the right fix.

What is the expected dependency chain of feature calls?

Actually this goes back to

commit 1e89ad5b00ba0426d4e949c9e6ce2926c15b81b7

    virtio-net: pass host features to virtio_net_init
    
    Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

virtio-s390 calls  virtio_net_init  before it actually queries the dev->features into
the host_features. virtio-ccw does the same, but it does not BUG. (Its still wrong IMHO)

Same for virtio-pci:


static int virtio_net_init_pci(PCIDevice *pci_dev)
{
    VirtIOPCIProxy *proxy = DO_UPCAST(VirtIOPCIProxy, pci_dev, pci_dev);
    VirtIODevice *vdev;

    vdev = virtio_net_init(&pci_dev->qdev, &proxy->nic, &proxy->net,
                           proxy->host_features);   <--- use host_feature

    vdev->nvectors = proxy->nvectors;
    virtio_init_pci(proxy, vdev);   <------------- actually gets host_feature (!)
[..]


Good that my old rusty virtio-ccw transport has lots of BUG_ONS :-)

Ping.
Anthony, Jesse,

how is this supposed to work?

You're misreading how this works.

Host features are set based on command line arguments.  This is
advertised to the guest.  The vdev->get_config() call then sanitizes
features.  For instance, look at:

static uint32_t virtio_net_get_features(VirtIODevice *vdev, uint32_t features)
{
    VirtIONet *n = to_virtio_net(vdev);
    NetClientState *nc = qemu_get_queue(n->nic);

    features |= (1 << VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC);

    if (!peer_has_vnet_hdr(n)) {
        features &= ~(0x1 << VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM);
<snip>

This removes the VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM feature if the peer doesn't support
it.  It's presupposing that the feature bit is set.

It's a bug in both virtio-ccw that features=0 when get_features is
called.  You can also tell this with:

[10:02 AM] anthony@titi:~/git/qemu/hw/s390x$ grep DEFINE_VIRTIO_NET_FEATURES *
virtio-ccw.c:    DEFINE_VIRTIO_NET_FEATURES(VirtioCcwDevice, host_features[0]),

So virtio-s390 is doing it wrong, but virtio-ccw looks like its doing it
right.
