Summary: Virtio NET
Key: VIRTIO-105
URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-105
Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC
Issue Type: Sub-task
Affects Versions: virtio 1.0 csprd01
Reporter: Rusty Russell
Assignee: Rusty Russell
Virtio Net
5.1.6.4 Control Virtqueue
Could the virtio_net_ctrl
​ ​
​structure ​be split into an request and response structure
​ ​
with​ command specific data present in both giving a space for the device to respond with data instead of just a boolean ack.

It could, but it would simply be a documentation change as we have no
current users who need that.

Could a vendor specific command be added to allow for extensions?

Not sure how that would work? I'm happy for us to reserve some class on
a demand basis, but if we just specify one as "vendor specific" how
would it be differentiated and used?

Cheers,
Rusty.
