I think we've discussed this sometime in the past but what's the reason for such whitelist consider there's already a get_features() implemention?

E.g Any reason to block VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROS or VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED?

Thanks
The reason is some feature bits are supported in the device but not supported by the driver, e.g, for virtio-net, mq & cq implementation is not ready in the driver.


I understand the case of virtio-net but I wonder why we need this for block where we don't vq cvq.

Thanks
This is still a subset of the feature bits read from hardware, I leave it here to code consistently, and indicate what we support clearly.
Are you suggesting remove this feature bits list and just use what we read from hardware?

Yes, please do that.

The whiltelist doesn't help in this case I think.
OK, will remove this in V2

Thanks

Thanks
