Subject: [PATCHv2 RFC] virtio-spec: flexible configuration layout
Here's an updated spec patch. Changes from v1:
- add an example configuration
- scale tables so they fit within page
- clean up some remaining items mentioning feature bit 31
Description from v1:
Here's a spec change documenting what my C patch does
(almost - I tweaked the layout a bit, but the idea is the same).
Some more cleanups are needed but I thought I'd send it
for early flames/comments.
The idea is simple: we split functionally unrelated
register groups to independent structures, and let
the device place is anywhere using a capability
in PCI configuration space.
It can then go into MMIO space which is cheaper than PIO.
A legacy portion of the configuration is mirrored
in the first BAR, to keep legacy drivers working.
Any new fields can be added in existing structures
at the end, so they won't affect legacy.
Alternatively we can add new structures with new
structure IDs, pointed to from PCI configuration space.
As we don't yet have devices or drivers with 64 bit features,
I decided we don't need high feature bits in legacy space.
This also frees up feature bit 31 as we don't need it
to enable high feature bits anymore.
I don't think any released software actually uses it
(the kvm tool HEAD apparently does,
but I think it's not too late to fix it).
As this solves the dynamic placement of MSIX vectors
and high feature bits,
I thought it's easier to just reserve space for that
programming than give it a separate structure. This
can be changed by a patch on top.
Note that data path is split from configuration.
PDF will follow.
Please comment.

+A single device has multiple virtio capabilities on the PCI capability linked-li

+, that is
+\emph on
+Capability ID
+\emph default
+ value
+\emph on
+9
+\emph default
+, according to the PCI spec.
+ For each capability, it verifies that the
+\emph on
+Capability Length
+\emph default
+ field matches the expected value (12) - if it doesn't, this indicates a
+ layout change, which causes driver to ignore the specific PCI capability
+ and proceed to the next PCI capability in the list.
+ Next,
+\emph on
+ Structure ID
+\emph default
+ single-byte field is read at offset 3.
+ Unrecognized
+\emph on

+ values are ignored.
+ Low bits in the
+\emph on

+ Device drivers are recommended to sanity check
+\emph on
+BIR
+\emph default
+,
+\emph on
+Offset

+, and
+\emph on

+For backwards compatibility, devices should also present legacy configuration
+ space in the first I/O region of the PCI device, mirroring virtio configuration
+ structures in this space.
+ Drivers should fall back on this legacy structure if a specific Virtio
+ Structure capability is missing in the PCI capability list.
+ However, devices are not required to map the whole configuration structure
+ in legacy space - only the initial segment expected by legacy drivers needs
+ to be mapped.
+ The minimal size of such legacy segment size, for each structure, is listed
+ below.
+ Drivers are discouraged from using legacy space if a specific Structure
+ ID is present; this is to allow deprecating the legacy space in the future.
