There are some extra bits used over a vhost-user connection which are
hidden from the device itself. We need to set them here to ensure we
enable things like the protocol extensions.

Currently net/vhost-user.c has it's own inscrutable way of persisting
this data but it really should live in the core vhost_user code.

I went back and forth on this, but in the end I feel
it is safer to defer this one until after the release.

Hi Alex,

With this change, VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES bit will be set to backend for virtio block device (previously not).

From https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/interop/vhost-user.html spec:
If VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES has not been negotiated, the ring starts directly in the enabled state.
If VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES has been negotiated, the ring is initialized in a disabled state and is enabled by VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE with parameter 1.

Vhost-user-blk won't send out VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE today. 
Backend gets VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES negotiated and can't get VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE.
VQs keep in disabled state.

Can you check on this scenario?

Thanks

If the backend advertises protocol features but the stub doesn't support
it how does it get enabled?

The testing I did was mostly by hand with the gpio backend and using the
qtests. I Think we need to add some acceptance testing into avocado with
some real daemons because I don't think we have enough coverage with the
current qtest approach.

Hi Alex,

Sorry for the late response, I missed your mail.
You can test together with dpdk and have reproduce.

Steps:
1. DPDK 
git clone https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk.git
git checkout v22.07
meson build -Dexamples=vhost_blk
ninja -C build
cd /tmp/
sudo dpdk/build/examples/dpdk-vhost_blk # it's a daemon 

2. Add blk device to qemu, then bootup VM.
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-chardev'/>
    <qemu:arg value='socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost.socket'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vhost-user-blk-pci,chardev=char0,num-queues=1'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

Without this commit, you can get device ready log from dpdk-vhost_blk:

VHOST_CONFIG: (/tmp/vhost.socket) negotiated Vhost-user protocol features: 0x11ebf
VHOST_CONFIG: (/tmp/vhost.socket) negotiated Virtio features: 0x100000000
VHOST_CONFIG: (/tmp/vhost.socket) virtio is now ready for processing.
New Device /tmp/vhost.socket, Device ID 0
Ctrlr Worker Thread start

With this commit, device won't be ready and VM will hang. 
You can see VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES bit is added.

VHOST_CONFIG: (/tmp/vhost.socket) negotiated Virtio features: 0x140000000

Dpdk code related:
./lib/vhost/vhost_user.c

2044     /*                                                                          
2045      * When VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES is not negotiated,                   
2046      * the ring starts already enabled. Otherwise, it is enabled via            
2047      * the SET_VRING_ENABLE message.                                            
2048      */                                                                         
2049     if (!(dev->features & (1ULL << VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES))) {          
2050         vq->enabled = true;                                                     
2051     }


Thanks,
Yajun
