What gave you this impression? Take a look at e.g. this code in qemu: static void virtio_net_reset(VirtIODevice *vdev) { VirtIONet *n = VIRTIO_NET(vdev); /* Reset back to compatibility mode */ n->promisc = 1; n->allmulti = 0; n->alluni = 0; n->nomulti = 0; n->nouni = 0; n->nobcast = 0; /* multiqueue is disabled by default */ n->curr_queues = 1; timer_del(n->announce_timer); n->announce_counter = 0; n->status &= ~VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE; /* Flush any MAC and VLAN filter table state */ n->mac_table.in_use = 0; n->mac_table.first_multi = 0; n->mac_table.multi_overflow = 0; n->mac_table.uni_overflow = 0; memset(n->mac_table.macs, 0, MAC_TABLE_ENTRIES * ETH_ALEN); memcpy(&n->mac[0], &n->nic->conf->macaddr, sizeof(n->mac)); qemu_format_nic_info_str(qemu_get_queue(n->nic), n->mac); memset(n->vlans, 0, MAX_VLAN >> 3); } So device seems to lose all state, you have to re-program it. > > Also, it seems that LINK_ANNOUNCE requests will get ignored > > even if they got set before the reset, leading to downtime. > > Do you mean act on VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE > requests? That flag is tested and netdev_notify_peers > called before resetting virtio ring state. Yes but I wonder if there's a race where announce is set after it is read but before NEED_RESET is read. Re-reading status from the config before reset might be necessary. -- MST _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
