Michael S. Tsirkin 573a3228ca virtio: acknowledge all features before access 
commit 4fa59ede95 upstream.

The feature negotiation was designed in a way that
makes it possible for devices to know which config
fields will be accessed by drivers.

This is broken since commit 404123c2db ("virtio: allow drivers to
validate features") with fallout in at least block and net.  We have a
partial work-around in commit 2f9a174f91 ("virtio: write back
F_VERSION_1 before validate") which at least lets devices find out which
format should config space have, but this is a partial fix: guests
should not access config space without acknowledging features since
otherwise we'll never be able to change the config space format.

To fix, split finalize_features from virtio_finalize_features and
call finalize_features with all feature bits before validation,
and then - if validation changed any bits - once again after.

Since virtio_finalize_features no longer writes out features
rename it to virtio_features_ok - since that is what it does:
checks that features are ok with the device.

As a side effect, this also reduces the amount of hypervisor accesses -
we now only acknowledge features once unless we are clearing any
features when validating (which is uncommon).

IRC I think that this was more or less always the intent in the spec but
unfortunately the way the spec is worded does not say this explicitly, I
plan to address this at the spec level, too.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
