Then please show us the code, as I can only comment based on your latest (v4) patch and it was not there.. To be honest, I don't understand the motivation and the use cases you have, is it for debugging/monitoring or there's really a use case for live migration? For the former, you can do a direct dump on all config space fields regardless of endianess and feature negotiation without having to worry about validity (meaningful to present to admin user). To me these are conflict asks that is impossible to mix in exact one command.

that's why I proposed to fix these issues, e.g., if no _F_MAC, vDPA kernel should not return a mac to the userspace, there is not a default value for mac.

The config space can be accessed by guest before features_ok doesn't necessarily mean the value is valid. You may want to double check with Michael for what he quoted earlier:

Sorry to chime in late in the game. For some reason I couldn't get to most emails for this discussion (I only subscribed to the virtualization list), while I was taking off amongst the past few weeks.I have another patch in this series introduces device_features and will report device_features to the userspace even features negotiation not done. Because the spec says we should allow driver access the config space before FEATURES_OK.
It looks to me this patch is incomplete. Noted down the way in vdpa_dev_net_config_fill(), we have the following:features = vdev->config->get_driver_features(vdev); if (nla_put_u64_64bit(msg, VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NEGOTIATED_FEATURES, features, VDPA_ATTR_PAD)) return -EMSGSIZE;Making call to .get_driver_features() doesn't make sense when feature negotiation isn't complete. Neither should present negotiated_features to userspace before negotiation is done.
Similarly, max_vqp through vdpa_dev_net_mq_config_fill() probably should not show before negotiation is done - it depends on driver features negotiated.
I fail to understand what you want to present from your description. May be worth showing some example outputs that at least include the following cases: 1) when device offers features but not yet acknowledge by guest 2) when guest acknowledged features and device is yet to accept 3) after guest feature negotiation is completed (agreed upon between guest and device).They are driver_features(negotiated) and the device_features(which comes with the device), and the config space fields that depend on them. In this series, we report both to the userspace.Nope: 2.5.1 Driver Requirements: Device Configuration Space ... For optional configuration space fields, the driver MUST check that the corresponding feature is offered before accessing that part of the configuration space.
and how many driver bugs taking wrong assumption of the validity of config space field without features_ok. I am not sure what use case you want to expose config resister values for before features_ok, if it's mostly for live migration I guess it's probably heading a wrong direction.
What I said is after unblocking the conditional check, you'd have to handle the case for each of the vdpa attribute when feature negotiation is not yet done: basically the register values you got from config space via the vdpa_get_config_unlocked() call is not considered to be valid before features_ok (per-spec). Although in some case you may get sane value, such behavior is generally undefined. If you desire to show just the device_features alone without any config space field, which the device had advertised *before feature negotiation is complete*, that'll be fine. But looks to me this is not how patch has been implemented. Probably need some more work?I am not sure getting your points. vDPA now reports device feature bits(device_features) and negotiated feature bits(driver_features), and yes, the drivers features can be a subset of the device features; and the vDPA device features can be a subset of the management device features.
Last but not the least, this "vdpa dev config" command was not designed to display the real config space register values in the first place. Quoting the vdpa-dev(8) man page:
vdpa dev config show - Show configuration of specific device or all devices.It doesn't say anything about configuration space or register values in config space. As long as it can convey the config attribute when instantiating vDPA device instance, and more importantly, the config can be easily imported from or exported to userspace tools when trying to reconstruct vdpa instance intact on destination host for live migration, IMHO in my personal interpretation it doesn't matter what the config space may present. It may be worth while adding a new debug command to expose the real register value, but that's another story.
DEV - specifies the vdpa device to show its configuration. If this argument is omitted all devices configuration is listed.

it's a new feature to report the device feature bits than only negotiated features, however this patch is a must, or it will block the device feature bits reporting. but I agree, the fix tag is not a must.
Having said, please consider to drop the Fixes tag, as appears to me you're proposing a new feature rather than fixing a real issue.
Thanks,

From: Zhu Lingshan <lingshan.zhu@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 1, 2022 9:28 AM Users may want to query the config space of a vDPA device, to choose a appropriate one for a certain guest. This means the users need to read the config space before FEATURES_OK, and the existence of config space contents does not depend on FEATURES_OK. The spec says: The device MUST allow reading of any device-specific configuration field before FEATURES_OK is set by the driver. This includes fields which are conditional on feature bits, as long as those feature bits are offered by the device.
