[PATCH] virtio: limit ring size to a maximum of 128 descriptor entries

by Mark Cave-Ayland

QEMU commit c9b7d9ec21 "virtio: increase virtqueue size for virtio-scsi and virtio-blk" increased the number of queue descriptors from 128 to 256 which caused OpenBIOS to fail when booting from a virtio-blk device under qemu-system-ppc due to a memory overflow. Update the virtio-blk driver so that it uses a maximum of 128 descriptor entries (the previous value) to fix the issue, and also ensure that any further increases in virtqueue size will not cause the same failure. Note that this commit also fixes the vring_area size calculation which was incorrectly based upon the number of virtqueues, and not the number of descriptor entries.

[PATCH] pci: Enable bus-master on virtio_blk

by bdragon＠FreeBSD.org

From: Brandon Bergren <git(a)bdragon.rtk0.net> In qemu 9d7bd0826f2d19f88631ad7078662668148f7b5f, the behavior of vring processing was changed to not run whenever bus-mastering is disabled. Since we were never enabling it in the first place, OpenBIOS was no longer able to access virtio disks on qemu. Fix this by enabling bus-mastering before initializing.

[PATCH v2 0/2] SPARC64/SPARC32 fix kernel and initrd mapping

by Mark Cave-Ayland

Unfortunately it looks as if my original fix for this was wrong, and in particular causes one of the SPARC64 QEMU advent calendar images which uses a preloaded kernel to panic on boot. The SILO memory allocators search through the physical memory "available" property but then don't actually allocate the result: instead hardcoded virtual addresses are only mapped to the physical addresses that are determined to be free. These patches remove the physical and virtual allocations introduced as part of the original fix and map these memory areas in exactly the same way that SILO does. This also solves the issue the original patches were trying to fix, which was that clients could still claim the memory in-use by the kernel via the CIF - the virtual addresses used by SILO are higher up in memory, making a clash extremely unlikely (and indeed, if it did happen, would mean the kernel/initrd combination would also fail to boot under SILO).
