If the version of the callbacks is returned by a callback within the
structure defined by the version... isn't that a bit circular?  This
seems redundant to me versus the class id.  The fact that the parent
driver defines the device as MDEV_CLASS_ID_VIRTIO should tell us this
already.  If it was incremented, we'd need an MDEV_CLASS_ID_VIRTIOv2,
which the virtio-mdev bus driver could add to its id table and handle
differently.
My understanding is versions are only allowed to increase monotonically,
this seems less flexible than features. E.g we have features A, B, C,
mdev device can choose to support only a subset. E.g when mdev device
can support dirty page logging, it can add a new feature bit for driver
to know that it support new device ops. MDEV_CLASS_ID_VIRTIOv2 may only
be useful when we will invent a complete new API.
But this interface rather conflates features and versions by returning
a version as a feature.  If we simply want to say that there are no
additional features, then get_mdev_features() should return an empty
set.  If dirty page logging is a feature, then I'd expect a bit in the
get_mdev_features() return value to identify that feature.

However, I've been under the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the
class-id has a 1:1 correlation to the device-ops exposed to the bus
driver, so if dirty page logging requires extra callbacks, that would
imply a new device-ops, which requires a new class-id.  In that case
virtio-mdev would claim both class-ids and would need some way to
differentiate them.  But I also see that such a solution can become
unmanageable as the set of class-ids would need to encompass every
combination of features.

So I think what's suggested by this is that the initial struct
virtio_mdev_device_ops is a base set of callbacks which would be
extended via features?


Yes.


But then why does get_generation() not make use
of this?  And if we can define get_generation() as optional and simply
test if it's implemented, then it seems we don't need any feature bits
to extend the structure (unless we're looking at binary compatibility).


I think the mapping between ops and features is N:1. We start with a base feature like VIRTIO_MDEV_VERSION_1, this allows us to do simply checking during probe without the need to checking the existence of each op. Testing the existence of a specific op should work but less convenient when a feature requires several new ops. For the case of get_generation(), it works because the bus driver have workaround when parent doesn't provide that. This may not work for a real feature.


So maybe get_mdev_features() is meant to expose underlying features
unrelated to the callbacks?  Which is not in line with the description?


At least not for current virtio-mdev/vhost-mdev. Virtio specific features should be done via get_features().


Hopefully you can see my confusion in what we're trying to do here.


I think I get you and hope my answer make sense. Suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks


Thanks,

Alex
