This series implements features provisioning for ifcvf.
By applying this series, we allow userspace to create
a vDPA device with selected (management device supported)
feature bits and mask out others.
I don't see a direct relationship between the first 3 and the last.
Maybe you can state the reason why the restructure is a must for the
feature provisioning. Otherwise, we'd better split the series.
When introducing features provisioning ability to ifcvf, there is
a need
to re-create vDPA devices
on a VF with different feature bits.
This seems a requirement even without feature provisioning? Device
could be deleted from the management device anyhow.
Yes, we need this to delete and re-create a vDPA device.
I wonder if we need something that works for -stable.
I can add a fix tag, so these three patches could apply to stable
It's too huge for -stable.
AFAIK, we can move the vdpa_alloc_device() from probe() to dev_add()
and it seems to work?
Yes and this is done in this series and that's why we need these
refactoring code.
I meant there's probably no need to change the association of existing
structure but just do the allocation in dev_add(), then we will have a
patch with much more small changeset that fit for -stable.
Thanks
By the way, do you have any comments to the patches?
Thanks,

We create vDPA device from a VF, so without features provisioning
requirements,
we don't need to re-create the vDPA device. But with features
provisioning,
it is a must now.

When remove a vDPA device, the container of struct vdpa_device
(here is
ifcvf_adapter) is free-ed in
dev_del() interface, so we need to allocate ifcvf_adapter in
dev_add()
than in probe(). That's
why I have re-factored the adapter/mgmt_dev code.
For re-factoring the irq related code and ifcvf_base, let them
work on
struct ifcvf_hw, the
reason is that the adapter is allocated in dev_add(), if we want
theses
functions to work
before dev_add(), like in probe, we need them work on ifcvf_hw
than the
adapter.

Thanks
Please help review
Thanks

vDPA/ifcvf: ifcvf base layer interfaces work on struct
ifcvf_hw
vDPA/ifcvf: IRQ interfaces work on ifcvf_hw
vDPA/ifcvf: allocate ifcvf_adapter in dev_add()
