sensitive API.
- Reduce changes in tools/virtio.

Hi,

3 weeks ago, I posted a proposal 'Virtio Over Fabrics':
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202304/msg00442.html

Jason and Stefan pointed out that a non-vring based virtqueue has a
chance to overwrite virtqueue instead of using vring virtqueue.

Then I try to abstract virtqueue related methods in this series, the
details changes see the comment of patch 'virtio: abstract virtqueue related methods'.

Something is still remained:
- __virtqueue_break/__virtqueue_unbreak is supposed to use by internal
     virtio core, I'd like to rename them to vring_virtqueue_break
     /vring_virtqueue_unbreak. Is this reasonable?

Why? These just set a flag?


Rename '__virtqueue_break' to 'vring_virtqueue_break', to make symbols
exported from virtio_ring.ko have unified prefix 'vring_virtqueue_xxx'.

I just do not see why you need these callbacks at all.


I use these callbacks for break/unbreak device like:
static inline void virtio_break_device(struct virtio_device *dev)
{
	struct virtqueue *vq;

	spin_lock(&dev->vqs_list_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(vq, &dev->vqs, list) {
		vq->__break(vq);
	}
	spin_unlock(&dev->vqs_list_lock);
}

why do this? backend knows they are broken.


I grep 'virtio_break_device' in the latest code:
arch/um/drivers/virtio_uml.c:1147:	virtio_break_device(&vu_dev->vdev);
arch/um/drivers/virtio_uml.c:1285:	virtio_break_device(&vu_dev->vdev);
drivers/crypto/virtio/virtio_crypto_core.c:269: virtio_break_device(vcrypto->vdev);
drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c:1251:			virtio_break_device(&vcdev->vdev);
drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c:1268:		virtio_break_device(&vcdev->vdev);
drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/virtio.c:489: virtio_break_device(vioch->vqueue->vdev);
drivers/char/virtio_console.c:1956:	virtio_break_device(vdev);

Some virtio drivers use 'virtio_break_device'...

- virtqueue_get_desc_addr/virtqueue_get_avail_addr/virtqueue_get_used_addr
     /virtqueue_get_vring is vring specific, I'd like to rename them like
     vring_virtqueue_get_desc_addr. Is this reasonable?
- there are still some functions in virtio_ring.c with prefix *virtqueue*,
     for example 'virtqueue_add_split', just keep it or rename it to
     'vring_virtqueue_add_split'?
