Nope, I mean, when I wrote the original version, I meant to do the same
things that we do in virtio_dev_probe() where we called
virtio_device_ready() which not only set the state, but also called
.enable_cbs callback.

Was this a side effect and maybe more compliant with the spec?


Sorry I don't understand the question. it says "avoids setting DRIVER_OK twice" -
why is that advantageous and worth calling out in the commit log?

I just wanted to say that it seems strange to set DRIVER_OK twice if we read the spec. I don't think it's wrong, but weird.

Yes, maybe we should rewrite the commit message saying that we want to use virtio_device_ready() everywhere to complete the setup before setting DRIVER_OK so we can do all the necessary operations inside (like in patch 3 or call enable_cbs).

Jason rewrote the commit log, so I don't know if he agrees.

Thanks,
Stefano
