Allows to read vendor statistics of a vdpa device. The specific
statistics data are received from the upstream driver in the form of an
(attribute name, attribute value) pairs.

An example of statistics for mlx5_vdpa device are:

received_desc - number of descriptors received by the virtqueue
completed_desc - number of descriptors completed by the virtqueue

A descriptor using indirect buffers is still counted as 1. In addition,
N chained descriptors are counted correctly N times as one would expect.

A new callback was added to vdpa_config_ops which provides the means for
the vdpa driver to return statistics results.

The interface allows for reading all the supported virtqueues, including
the control virtqueue if it exists.

Below are some examples taken from mlx5_vdpa which are introduced in the
following patch:

1. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 1

$ vdpa dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 1
vdpa-a:
queue_type tx queue_index 1 received_desc 3844836 completed_desc 3844836

2. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 32
$ vdpa dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 32
vdpa-a:
queue_type control_vq queue_index 32 received_desc 62 completed_desc 62

3. Read statisitics for the virtqueue at index 0 with json output
$ vdpa -j dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 0
{"vstats":{"vdpa-a":{
"queue_type":"rx","queue_index":0,"name":"received_desc","value":417776,\
    "name":"completed_desc","value":417548}}}

4. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 0 with preety json output
$ vdpa -jp dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 0
{
       "vstats": {
           "vdpa-a": {

               "queue_type": "rx",
               "queue_index": 0,
               "name": "received_desc",
               "value": 417776,
               "name": "completed_desc",
               "value": 417548
           }
       }
}

You seem to miss VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NEGOTIATED_FEATURES from this function,
otherwise I can't image how you can ensure the atomicity to infer
queue_type for control vq.
And should we make sure VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FEATURES_OK is set before call
into vendor_stats_fill()?
It is done in the hardware driver. In this case, in mlx5_vdpa.
OK... So you think this is not vdpa common code but rather individual
vendor driver should deal with? Seems fine at the first glance, but with
some thoughts this would complicate userspace code quite a lot to tell
apart different cases - say if the VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NEGOTIATED_FEATURES
attr is missing it would not be possible to display the queue type. On
the other hand, the queue type itself shouldn't be vendor specific thing
- only the vendor stats are, right?

Right, although this feature is really about displaying statistics and queue type
is just supplemental information.
Well, in the userspace implementation perspective it might be so, but thinking it from user's point of view it might not be easy to infer the type just from queue index.


Furthermore, without FEATURES_OK the stats returned for a specific queue
might not be stable/reliable/reasonable at all, not sure how the tool
can infer such complex state (e.g. negotiation is in progress) if
somehow the vendor driver doesn't provide the corresponding attribute?
Should vendor driver expect to fail with explicit message to indicate
the reason, or it'd be fine to just display zero stats there? Looking at
mlx5_vdpa implementation it seems to be the former case, but in case of
device being negotiating, depending on which queue, the vstat query
might end up with a confusing message of, either

"virtqueue index is not valid"

or,

"failed to query hardware"

but none is helpful for user to indicate what's going on... I wonder if
mandating presence of FEATURES_OK would simplify userspace tool's
implementation in this case?
When you say "mandating", do you refer to kernel?
Yep. Either the vendor driver checks the FEATURES_OK status alone and rejects incoming request when negotiation is still in progress, or the vdpa core could double check on that. Or else the user would get to either of the above messages, which is kinda misleading to users.

  The userspace tool
can do that since it will have the negotiated features.
Are you suggesting if the userspace tool doesn't see the negotiated features attribute but the get_vendor_vq_stats() call was successful, it would simply assume no FEATURES_OK is set as yet?

For now I don't see the need of per-queue stat query before device and driver get done on feature negotiation. It would be simpler for the userspace tool to assume valid per-queue stats are available only until feature negotiation is done: the kernel could just reject the .get_vendor_vq_stats() call if not seeing FEATURES_OK. We can further extend by introducing new attribute to it whenever there's future need. That way you don't need to add a lot of future proof code to the userspace tool and try to cover all of the cases in the first place.

I am reluctant to splitting attributes insertion between hardware driver
and generic vdpa code. If this is vendor specific feature I think all attributes
should come from the vendor driver. But, I don't insist and can move to vdpa
generic code.
It's fine to insert all attributes in the driver, but please try to come up with sort of common abstraction/interface for userspace to digest. And hopefully it would simplify tool's implementation rather than complicate things up.

BTW, please pay attention to the comment I made for vdpa_dev_mutex below. I'd rather get the semaphore conversion done earlier than later, or there'll be side issue popped up with regard to locking and atomicity.

Given that stats_get() is a read-only operation that might happen quite
often from time to time, I wonder if it is now a good timing to convert
vdpa_dev_mutex to a semaphore?
