So I put a version of this in linux-next, but I had to squash in
some bugfixes, and resolve some conflicts. Eli, please take a look
and let me know whether it looks sane. If not pls post a new
version.
Jason, what is your take on merging this now? Si-wei here seems to want
to defer, but OTOH it's up to v7 already, most patches are acked and
most comments look like minor improvement suggestions to me.
Sure, no worries. I thought maybe it's just me that cares about the completeness and correctness of this series. When I did review for v6  I also thought v7 might be the last shot, but it turned out there's outstanding comment missed to address and other issues due to last minute fix. It's definitely your call to pull it or not. I'm satisfied with all aspects of the uAPI change for this series in terms of the expectation set.

If you can help fix up the needless change to API vdpa_set_features() for "[PATCH v7 05/14] vdpa: Allow to configure max data virtqueues" I would much appreciate it. Or Eli can post a fix for that together with other issues on top, given it was very easy to lose track of these similar comments during the previous rounds of my review.

Thanks,
-Siwei


Example, set number of VQPs to 2:
$ ethtool -L ens1 combined 2

A user can check the max supported virtqueues for a management device by
running:

$ $ vdpa mgmtdev show
     auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1:
       supported_classes net
       max_supported_vqs 257
       dev_features CSUM GUEST_CSUM MTU HOST_TSO4 HOST_TSO6 STATUS CTRL_VQ MQ \
                    CTRL_MAC_ADDR VERSION_1 ACCESS_PLATFORM

and refer to this value when adding a device.

To create a device with a max of 5 VQPs:
vdpa dev add name vdpa-a mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 max_vqp 5

Please note that for patches that were changed I removed "Reviewed-by"
and "Acked-by".

v6 -> v7:
1. Make use of cf_mutex for serializing netlink set/get with other
calls.
2. Some fixes (See in each patch)
3. Add patch for vdpa_sim to report supported features
4. "Reviewed-by" and "Acked-by" removed from patch 0007 since it had
slightly changed.
