It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my
technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to
slow virtio adoption.
I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This
allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the
storage topology.
Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up,
but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in
the storage world.

This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a".
Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit
on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this.
This is coming back later in a cleaner form.

Rusty,
commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a
virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.
In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

Recent qemu has added a VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH flag to advertise that the
virtual disk has a volatile write cache that needs to be flushed. In case
we see this feature implement tell the Linux block layer about the fact
and use the new VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to flush the cache when required. This
allows for an correct and simple implementation of write barriers.

Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs
bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone.

I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12
months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right.
Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher.

This patch extracts the opaque data from pci i/o
region 0 via the added VIRTIO_BLK_F_IDENTIFY
field. By convention this data takes the form of
that returned by an ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE command,
however the driver (except for structure size)
makes no interpretation of the data. The structure
data is copied wholesale to userspace via a
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl command (eg: hdparm -i <dev>).

Add support for SG_IO passthru to virtio_blk. We add the scsi command
block after the normal outhdr, and the scsi inhdr with full status
information aswell as the sense buffer before the regular inhdr.
[hch: forward ported, added the VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI flags, some comments
and tested the whole beast]
[axboe: updated to use ->resid and not dual-path the byte count]

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause
trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size
(like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd).
Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector
size than 512 byte.

We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD
license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal
clear.

Since commit 72e61eb40b55dd57031ec5971e810649f82b0259 (virtio: change config
to guest endian) config space is no longer fixed endian.

Hello Rusty,
sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch
adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should
be considered read-only.

Rather than faking up some geometry, allow the backend to push the disk
geometry via virtio pci config option. Keep the old geo code around for

Ron Minnich points out that a struct containing a char is not always
sizeof(char); simplest to remove the structure to avoid confusion.

This field has been unused since an older version of virtio. Remove
it now before we freeze the ABI.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.
We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().
Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate
patch.
