[PATCH] virtio-net: clear guest_announce feature if no cvq backend


From: Eugenio Pérez
Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: clear guest_announce feature if no cvq backend
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 17:11:59 +0100

Since GUEST_ANNOUNCE is emulated the feature bit could be set without
backend support.  This happens in the vDPA case.

However, backend vDPA parent may not have CVQ support.  This causes an
incoherent feature set, and the driver may refuse to start.  This
happens in virtio-net Linux driver.

This may be solved differently in the future.  Qemu is able to emulate a
CVQ just for guest_announce purposes, helping guest to notify the new
location with vDPA devices that does not support it.  However, this is
left as a TODO as it is way more complex to backport.

Tested with vdpa_net_sim, toggling manually VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ in the
driver and migrating it with x-svq=on.

vhost-vdpa")
