[PATCH v2 2/2] virtio: acknowledge all features before access

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Tue Jan 18 2022 - 12:04:04 EST


The feature negotiation was designed in a way that
makes it possible for devices to know which config
fields will be accessed by drivers.

This is broken since commit 404123c2db79 ("virtio: allow drivers to
validate features") with fallout in at least block and net. We have a
partial work-around in commit 2f9a174f918e ("virtio: write back
F_VERSION_1 before validate") which at least lets devices find out which
format should config space have, but this is a partial fix: guests
should not access config space without acknowledging features since
otherwise we'll never be able to change the config space format.

To fix, split finalize_features from virtio_finalize_features and
call finalize_features with all feature bits before validation,
and then - if validation changed any bits - once again after.

Since virtio_finalize_features no longer writes out features
rename it to virtio_features_ok - since that is what it does:
checks that features are ok with the device.

As a side effect, this also reduces the amount of hypervisor accesses -
we now only acknowledge features once unless we are clearing any
features when validating (which is uncommon).
