Currently virtio-pci is specified so that configuration of the device is
done through a PCI IO space (via BAR 0 of the virtual PCI device).
However, Linux guests happen to use ioread/iowrite/iomap primitives
for access, and these work uniformly across memory/io BARs.

While PCI IO accesses are faster than MMIO on x86 kvm,
MMIO might be helpful on other systems which don't
implement PIO or where PIO is slower than MMIO.

Add a property to make it possible to tweak the BAR type.

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

This is harmless by default but causes segfaults in memory.c
when enabled. Thus an RFC until I figure out what's wrong.

Should be done via an extra BAR (with the same layout, perhaps extended)
so compatibility is preserved.

No, that would need guest changes to be of use.  The point of this hack
is to make things work for Linux guests where PIO does not work.

Doesn't this violate the virtio-pci spec?

Making the same vendor/device ID have different semantics depending on a magic 
flag in QEMU seems like a pretty bad idea to me.

The point is to change the BAR type depending on the architecture.
IO is fastest on x86 but maybe not on other architectures.

We do this with MSI-X so why not the BAR type?

Are we going to document that the BAR is X on architecture Y in the spec?

I think the better way to do this is to use a separate device id range for MMIO 
virtio-pci.  You can make the same driver hand both ranges and that way the 
device is presented consistently to the guest regardless of what the 
architecture is.

We extend the bar size with MSI-X and use a transport flag to indicate that it's 
available, right?

Yes there are endless ways to do this.
This specific hack is good for making existing linux drivers
on ppc, arm etc work.

No, we use regular pci capability. Just like BAR type is
a regular PCI register :)

Maybe just make this a hidden option like x-miio?
This will ensure people dont turn it on by mistake on e.g. x86.

x-violate-the-virtio-spec-to-trick-old-linux-drivers-into-working-on-power?

Really, aren't we just being too clever here?  From a practical perspective, I 
doubt anyone is ever going to support a driver that has *never* been tested on 
the platform just because it was accidentally compiled and happens to be there.

If we just do use a device PCI device id range for this, it's a 1-line patch 
that can be provided via an update to existing guests.

"To configure the device, we use the first I/O region of the PCI
device."

Meh, it does sound a little like we are specifying that it's an PCI I/O
bar.

Let's resurrect the PCI-v2 idea, which is ready to implement now, and a
nice cleanup?  Detach it from the change-of-ring-format idea which is
turning out to be a tarpit.

Thanks,
Rusty.

I think that's a sensible approach.

It only works if all guest's PCI layer knows to deal with the bit flip
correctly.  I imagine it isn't true for at least the seabios virtio drivers.

Yes. But it seems silly to even write code to play with device config in
memory when we agreed the right thing to do is to use a config vq
everywhere.

Now a question: does a oconfig vq look like a PCI specific
feature to you, a work-around for lack of multibyte atomic
accesses? If yes it's sane to make it a PCI capability.
Or is it something most transports would need? If yes we
need a feature bit and this is a chicken and egg problem ...
