2009-06-12virtio: handle short buffers in virtio_rng.Rusty Russell
If the device fills less than 4 bytes of our random buffer, we'll BUG_ON. It's nicer to handle the case where it partially fills the buffer (the protocol doesn't explicitly bad that). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12virtio: find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operationsMichael S. Tsirkin
This replaces find_vq/del_vq with find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations, and updates all drivers. This is needed for MSI support, because MSI needs to know the total number of vectors upfront.

2009-06-12virtio: add names to virtqueue struct, mapping from devices to queues.Rusty Russell
Add a linked list of all virtqueues for a virtio device: this helps for debugging and is also needed for upcoming interface change. Also, add a "name" field for clearer debug messages. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-04-24virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacksChristian Borntraeger
The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

2008-05-30virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.Rusty Russell
Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into the kernel entropy pool. Included: virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate random_data dynamically with kmalloc.
