virtio spec requires drivers to set DRIVER_OK before using VQs.
This is set automatically after probe returns, but virtio-vsock
driver uses VQs in the probe function to fill rx and event VQs
with new buffers.


So this is a spec violation. absolutely.

Let's fix this, calling virtio_device_ready() before using VQs
in the probe function.

Here's the whole code snippet:


       mutex_lock(&vsock->tx_lock);
       vsock->tx_run = true;
       mutex_unlock(&vsock->tx_lock);

       mutex_lock(&vsock->rx_lock);

       mutex_unlock(&vsock->event_lock);

       if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET))
               vsock->seqpacket_allow = true;

       vdev->priv = vsock;
       rcu_assign_pointer(the_virtio_vsock, vsock);

       mutex_unlock(&the_virtio_vsock_mutex);


I worry that this is not the only problem here:
seqpacket_allow and setting of vdev->priv at least after
device is active look suspicious.

Right, so if you agree I'll move these before virtio_device_ready().

E.g.:

static void virtio_vsock_event_done(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
       struct virtio_vsock *vsock = vq->vdev->priv;

       if (!vsock)
               return;
       queue_work(virtio_vsock_workqueue, &vsock->event_work);
}

looks like it will miss events now they will be reported earlier.
One might say that since vq has been kicked it might send
interrupts earlier too so not a new problem, but
there's a chance device actually waits until DRIVER_OK
to start operating.

Yes I see, should I break into 2 patches (one where I move the code already present and this one)?

Maybe a single patch is fine since it's the complete solution.

Thank you for the detailed explanation,
Stefano
