[Bug 1924603] [NEW] Incorrect feature negotiation for vhost-vdpa netdevice

[Gautam Dawar]

Public bug reported:

QEMU cmdline:
=============
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 2G -hda  
/gautam/centos75_1.qcow2 -name gautam,process=gautam -enable-kvm -netdev 
vhost-vdpa,id=mynet0,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0 -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet0,mac=02:AA:BB:DD:00:20,disable-modern=off,page-per-vq=on
 -cpu host --nographic

Host OS:
========
Linux kernel 5.11 running on x86 host

Guest OS:
==========
CentOS 7.5

Root cause analysis:
=====================

For vhost-vdpa netdevice, the feature negotiation results in sending the
superset of features received from device in call to get_features vdpa
ops callback.

During the feature-negotiation phase, the acknowledged feature bits are
initialized with backend_features  and then checked for supported
feature bits in vhost_ack_features():

void vhost_net_ack_features(struct vhost_net *net, uint64_t features)
{
  net->dev.acked_features = net->dev.backend_features;
  vhost_ack_features(&net->dev, vhost_net_get_feature_bits(net), features);
}

 
The vhost_ack_features() function just builds up on the dev.acked_features and 
never trims it down:

void vhost_ack_features(struct vhost_dev *hdev, const int *feature_bits, 
uint64_t features)
{     const int *bit = feature_bits;

      while (*bit != VHOST_INVALID_FEATURE_BIT) {
           uint64_t bit_mask = (1ULL << *bit);      

            if (features & bit_mask)
                 hdev->acked_features |= bit_mask;

            bit++;
       }
}

Because of this hdev->acked_features is always minimally equal to the
value of device features and this is the value that is passed to the
device in set_features callback:

static int vhost_dev_set_features(struct vhost_dev *dev, bool enable_log)
{
       uint64_t *features = dev->acked_features;
       .....
       r = dev->vhost_ops->*vhost_set_features*(dev, features);
}
