* virtio: reset functionRusty Russell2008-02-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

* virtio: populate network rings in the probe routine, not openRusty Russell2008-02-041-19/+25
| | | | | | | Since we want to reset the device to remove them, this is simpler (device is reset for us on driver remove). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: Tweak virtio_net definesRusty Russell2008-02-041-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

* virtio: Net header needs hdr_lenRusty Russell2008-02-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | It's far easier to deal with packets if we don't have to parse the packet to figure out the header length to know how much to pull into the skb data. Add the field to the virtio_net_hdr struct (and fix the spaces that somehow crept in there). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.Rusty Russell2008-02-041-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell2008-02-041-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* virtio: Implement skb_partial_csum_set, for setting partial csums on ↵Rusty Russell2008-02-041-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | untrusted packets. Use it in virtio_net (replacing buggy version there), it's also going to be used by TAP for partial csum support. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* virtio: fix net driver loop case where we fail to restartRusty Russell2007-11-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | skb is only NULL the first time around: it's more correct to test for being under-budget. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: fix module/device unloadingRusty Russell2007-11-191-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already needed for module unloading. This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest unloading paths. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: more fallout from scatterlist changes.Rusty Russell2007-11-121-0/+3

* Net driver using virtioRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+435
The network driver uses two virtqueues: one for input packets and one for output packets. This has nice locking properties (ie. we don't do any for recv vs send). TODO: 1) Big packets. 2) Multi-client devices (maybe separate driver?). 3) Resolve freeing of old xmit skbs (Christian Borntraeger) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org
