                                        calculate config size based on the host features. But it forgets the
                                        VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC were always set for qemu later. This will lead a zero config

                                        disabled form command line. Then qemu will crash when user tries to read the
                                        config of virtio-net.

                                        Fix this by counting VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC and make sure the config at least contains
                                        the mac address.

                                        It seems to me that the real problem here is that host_features isn't
                                        properly populated before virtio_net_set_config_size() is called. Looking
                                        at virtio_device_init(), we can see why:

                                        static int virtio_device_init(DeviceState *qdev)
                                        {
                                              VirtIODevice *vdev = VIRTIO_DEVICE(qdev);
                                              VirtioDeviceClass *k = VIRTIO_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(qdev);
                                              assert(k->init != NULL);
                                              if (k->init(vdev) < 0) {
                                                  return -1;
                                              }
                                              virtio_bus_plug_device(vdev);
                                              return 0;
                                        }

                                        virtio_net_set_config_size() is currently being called as part of the
                                        k->init call, but the host_features aren't properly setup until the device
                                        is plugged into the bus using virtio_bus_plug_device().

                                        After talking with mdroth, I think the proper way to fix this would be to
                                        extend VirtioDeviceClass to include a calculate_config_size() method that
                                        can be called at the appropriate time during device initialization like so:

                                        static int virtio_device_init(DeviceState *qdev)
                                        {
                                              VirtIODevice *vdev = VIRTIO_DEVICE(qdev);
                                              VirtioDeviceClass *k = VIRTIO_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(qdev);
                                              assert(k->init != NULL);
                                              if (k->init(vdev) < 0) {
                                                  return -1;
                                              }
                                              virtio_bus_plug_device(vdev);
                                        +   if (k->calculate_config_size && k->calculate_config_size(vdev) < 0) {
                                        +       return -1;
                                        +   }
                                              return 0;
                                        }

                                        This would ensure that host_features contains the proper data before any
                                        devices try to make use of it to calculate the config size.

                                        Good point, I didn't saw that.

                                        but this was not the case with commit 14f9b664 no?


                                    I suspect this bug was present in 14f9b664 as well. We just hadn't triggered
                                    it yet. I'll confirm this afternoon.

                                Ok, I think there is a problem with your patch:

                                    virtio_init(VIRTIO_DEVICE(n), "virtio-net", VIRTIO_ID_NET,
                                                                  n->config_size);

                                is called in virtio_net_device_init (k->init).

                                Is there a way to resize the config after that?


                            Nope. That's definitely a bug. I can send a patch to fix this today. Any
                            objection to the method suggested above (extending VirtioDeviceClass)?

                        This needs more thought. All devices expected everything
                        is setup during the init call. config size is
                        likely not the only issue.

                        So we need almost all of virtio_bus_plug_device before init,
                        and then after init send the signal:

                            if (klass->device_plugged != NULL) {
                                klass->device_plugged(qbus->parent);
                            }

                    Seems the interesting part is in virtio_pci_device_plugged at the end:

                        proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY;
                        proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_BAD_FEATURE;
                        proxy->host_features = virtio_bus_get_vdev_features(bus,
                    proxy->host_features);

                    This is and was called after set_config_size, isn't that the issue?

                Basically devices expected everything to be setup at
                the point where init is called.
                We found one bug but let's fix it properly.
                There's no reason to delay parts of setup until after init,
                if we do, we'll trip on more uses of uninitialized data.


                                               for (i = 0; feature_sizes[i].flags != 0; i++) {
                                                   if (host_features & feature_sizes[i].flags) {
                                                       config_size = MAX(feature_sizes[i].end, config_size);

Not sure this is what you want to do.
The device would be plugged before it is inited :/.
I think this is exacly what we want to do.
In fact, this is what other buses do, because
devices simply can't init properly if they
do not know on which bus they reside.

E.g. with pci:
	do_pci_register_device (adds device on bus)
	init

We can add an analog of hotplug bus callback
if bus wants to get notified after device initialization.
I don't see a need for this though.
Do you?



No, as we don't want to allow virtio-device hotplug.

but look at the plugged callback in virtio-pci:

    pci_set_word(config + PCI_SUBSYSTEM_ID, virtio_bus_get_vdev_id(bus));

    proxy->host_features = virtio_bus_get_vdev_features(bus,
proxy->host_features);

are impossible before the virtio-net init.

At this point I have to admit I don't understand what's
going on any more.

virtio_net_instance_init sets config size to
some value, then virtio_net_set_config_size overrides it...
Help!

I am guessing it's this hack that backfires somehow.


It would be interferring if virtio_net_set_config_size was not called.

The best I think is to set the config size in the virtio_net_init function, then remove the instance init.

The issue is that in the init function, the host_feature is not completely computed:

    it lacks the three line in virtio pci plugged function.

Maybe we can move the two firsts line in the virtio_net_pci_init before the init if they are usefull in the
config_size computing:

		proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY;
                proxy->host_features |= 0x1 << VIRTIO_F_BAD_FEATURE;
Then compute the last one directly in the init function which is the harder:

                        virtio_net_get_features

Note that there is in virtio_net_get_features:

                             features |= (1 << VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC);

Which is exacty the issue the initial patch is solving.
