I suppose you are specifying the code below:
/*
* Virtio PCI device VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_PF register is 32bit,
* and only accepts 32 bit page frame number.
* Check if the allocated physical memory exceeds 16TB.
*/
if ((mz->phys_addr + vq->vq_ring_size - 1) >>
(VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_ADDR_SHIFT + 32)) {
PMD_INIT_LOG(ERR, "vring address shouldn't be above
16TB!");
rte_free(vq);
return -ENOMEM;
}
So you don't need to add extra cmd option, right?

I basically agree with you. We have two dimensions here:
legacy modern
physical virtio device: Use virtio_read_caps_phys()
to distinguish
virtual virtio device (Tetsuya): Use virtio_read_caps_virt() to
distinguish
virtual virtio device (Jianfeng): does not need a "configuration
space layout", no need to distinguish
So in vtpci_init(), we needs to test "eth_dev->dev_type" firstly
vtpci_init() {
if (eth_dev->dev_type == RTE_ETH_DEV_PCI) {
if (virtio_read_caps_phys()) {
// modern
} else {
// legacy
}
} else {
if (Tetsuya's way) {
if (virtio_read_caps_virt()) {
// modern
} else {
// legacy
}
} else {
// Jianfeng's way
}
}
}
And from Yuanhan's angle, I think he does not need to address this
problem. How do you think?
Thanks,
Jianfeng
