Hmm. Can't messages meanwhile get processes and affect the

Isn't the msg processing stopped at the moment this function is called
(VHOST_SET_FEATURES)?

It's pretty late here I'm not sure. You tell me what prevents it.
BTW vhost_init_device_iotlb gets enabled parameter but ignores
it, we really should drop that.
Also, it looks like if features are set with VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
and then cleared, iotlb is not properly cleared - bug?

So the proposed code assumes that Qemu doesn't process device IOTLB
before VHOST_SET_FEAETURES. Consider there's no reset in the general
vhost uAPI, I wonder if it's better to move the clear to device code
like VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND. So we can clear it per vq?

Yes.

Not sure, old IOTLB may still work. But for safety, we need to disable
device IOTLB in this case.

Hmm this makes no sense to me. iommu sits between backend
and frontend. Tying one to another is going to backfire.
I'm thinking more along the lines of doing everything
under iotlb_lock.

I think we need to emulate what real devices are doing. Device should
clear the page fault message during reset, so the driver won't read
anything after reset. But we don't have a per device stop or reset
message for vhost-net. That's why the VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND came into
my mind.

I think the problem is we need to find a proper place to clear the
message. So I don't get how iotlb_lock can help: the message could be
still read from user space after the backend is set to NULL.

That's not a reset message. Userspace can switch backends at will.
I guess we could check when backend is set to -1.
It's a hack but might work.

Well I think the real problem is this.
vhost_net_set_features does:
if ((features & (1ULL << VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM))) {
if (vhost_init_device_iotlb(&n->dev, true))
goto out_unlock;
}
so we get a new iotlb each time features are set.
But features can be changes while device is running.
E.g.
VHOST_F_LOG_ALL
Let's just say this hack of reusing feature bits for backend
was not my brightest idea :(

Isn't vhost_init_device_iotlb() racy then, as d->iotlb is first updated with niotlb and later d->vqs[i]->iotlb is updated with niotlb. What does garantee this is done atomically?
Shouldn't we hold the dev->mutex to make all the sequence atomic and
include vhost_clear_msg()? Can't the vhost_clear_msg() take the dev lock?

It depends on where we want to place the vhost_clear_msg(), e.g in
most of the device ioctl, the dev->mutex has been held.
