I prefer this approach but it looks a little bit risky for 5.7. Can we
do this in 5.8?
Instead of using Kconfig, could we simply fail the initalization of
vhost like:
diff --git a/drivers/vhost/vhost.c b/drivers/vhost/vhost.c
index 0395229486a9..e9f6a008ed12 100644
--- a/drivers/vhost/vhost.c
+++ b/drivers/vhost/vhost.c
@@ -2636,6 +2636,11 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(vhost_dequeue_msg);
static int __init vhost_init(void)
{
+ struct vhost_virtqueue *vq;
+
+ if (__alignof__ *vq->avail > VRING_AVAIL_ALIGN_SIZE)
+ return -ENOTSUPP;
+
return 0;
}
