I think the endianness is handled when virtqueue_add_outbuf():

desc[i].addr = cpu_to_virtio64(_vq->vdev, addr);

right?

I think the second one looks good. Thanks.

Right. We probably need to put all the following cmd id related things
under the feature check,

How about

if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_VQ)) {
virtio_cread(..);
if (cmd_id == VIRTIO_BALLOON_FREE_PAGE_REPORT_STOP_ID) {
....
}

Actually the main reason is that "vb->report_free_page" is a value
shared by two threads:
Written by the config_change here, and read by the worker thread that
reports the free pages.

Alternatively, we could let the two sides access to the shared variable
with "volatile" pointers.

I think that case won't happen, because
- the host sends a cmd id to the guest via the config, while the guest
acks back the received cmd id via the virtqueue;
- the guest ack back a cmd id only when a new cmd id is received from
the host, that is the above check:

if (cmd_id != vb->start_cmd_id) { --> the driver only queues the
reporting work only when a new cmd id is received
/*
* Host requests to start the reporting by
sending a
* new cmd id.
*/
WRITE_ONCE(vb->report_free_page, true);
vb->start_cmd_id = cmd_id;
queue_work(vb->balloon_wq,
&vb->report_free_page_work);
}

So the same cmd id wouldn't queue the reporting work twice.

Sounds good. Here is the new implementation:

static int init_vqs(struct virtio_balloon *vb)
{
struct virtqueue *vqs[4];
vq_callback_t *callbacks[4];
const char *names[4];
struct scatterlist sg;
int ret;


/*
* Inflateq and deflateq are used unconditionally. stats_vq and
* free_page_vq uses names[2] and names[3], respectively. The
names[]
* will be NULL if the related feature is not enabled, which will
* cause no allocation for the corresponding virtqueue in find_vqs.
*/
callbacks[0] = balloon_ack;
names[0] = "inflate";
callbacks[1] = balloon_ack;
names[1] = "deflate";
names[2] = NULL;
names[3] = NULL;

if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ)) {
names[2] = "stats";
callbacks[2] = stats_request;
}
if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_VQ)) {
names[3] = "free_page_vq";
callbacks[3] = NULL;
}

ret = vb->vdev->config->find_vqs(vb->vdev, 4, vqs, callbacks,
names,
NULL, NULL);
if (ret)
return ret;

vb->inflate_vq = vqs[0];
vb->deflate_vq = vqs[1];

if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ)) {
vb->stats_vq = vqs[2];
/*
* Prime this virtqueue with one buffer so the
hypervisor can
* use it to signal us later (it can't be broken yet!).
*/
sg_init_one(&sg, vb->stats, sizeof(vb->stats));
ret = virtqueue_add_outbuf(vb->stats_vq, &sg, 1, vb,
GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret) {
dev_warn(&vb->vdev->dev, "%s: add stat_vq
failed\n",
__func__);
return ret;
}
virtqueue_kick(vb->stats_vq);
}
if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_VQ))
vb->free_page_vq = vqs[3];
return 0;
}

Btw, the QEMU side doesn't have an option to disable STATS_VQ currently,
we may need to add that later.

Best,
Wei
