* virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from hostChristian Borntraeger2008-07-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.

* virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementationsRusty Russell2008-07-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.

* virtio_blk: fix endianess annotationsChristian Borntraeger2008-05-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Since commit 72e61eb40b55dd57031ec5971e810649f82b0259 (virtio: change config to guest endian) config space is no longer fixed endian. Lets change the virtio_blk_config variables.

* virtio_blk: allow read-only disksChristian Borntraeger2008-05-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Hello Rusty, sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should be considered read-only.

* virtio: add virtio disk geometry featureRyan Harper2008-05-021-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Rather than faking up some geometry, allow the backend to push the disk geometry via virtio pci config option. Keep the old geo code around for compatibility.

* virtio: de-structify virtio_block status byteRusty Russell2008-05-021-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | Ron Minnich points out that a struct containing a char is not always sizeof(char); simplest to remove the structure to avoid confusion. Cc: "ron minnich" <rminnich@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: remove unused id field from struct virtio_blk_outhdrRusty Russell2008-02-041-2/+0
| | | | | | | This field has been unused since an older version of virtio. Remove it now before we freeze the ABI. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au.
* virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell2008-02-041-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+51
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.
