v2:
- backport the upstream patch and related patches needed
Commit 65b709586e22 ("vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in
vdpasim_dev_attr") unintentionally solved an issue in vdpasim_get_config()
upstream while refactoring vdpa_sim.c to support multiple devices.
Before that patch, if 'offset + len' was equal to
sizeof(struct virtio_net_config), the entire buffer wasn't filled,
returning incorrect values to the caller.
Since 'vdpasim->config' type is 'struct virtio_net_config', we can
safely copy its content under this condition.
The minimum set of patches to backport the patch that fixes the issue, is the
following:
423248d60d2b vdpa_sim: remove hard-coded virtq count
6c6e28fe4579 vdpa_sim: add struct vdpasim_dev_attr for device attributes
cf1a3b35382c vdpa_sim: store parsed MAC address in a buffer
f37cbbc65178 vdpa_sim: make 'config' generic and usable for any device type
65b709586e22 vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in vdpasim_dev_attr
The patches apply fairly cleanly. There are a few contextual differences
due to the lack of the other patches:
$ git backport-diff -u master -r linux-5.10.y..HEAD
Cool, where is 'backport-diff' from?
It was developed by Jeff Cody and I find it very useful when doing or
reviewing backports :-)
It's available here:
https://github.com/codyprime/git-scripts/blob/master/git-backport-diff
Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively
001/5:[----] [--] 'vdpa_sim: remove hard-coded virtq count'

005/5:[----] [-C] 'vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in vdpasim_dev_attr'
Now all applied, thanks.
Thanks,
