From section 2.6.5.3.1 (Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors)
of the virtio spec:

"A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue
Size of the device."

This text suggests that the warning should trigger even if
indirect descriptors are in use.

So I think at least the commit log needs some tweak.

For split virtqueue. We had:

2.6.5.2 Driver Requirements: The Virtqueue Descriptor Table

Drivers MUST NOT add a descriptor chain longer than 2^32 bytes in total;
this implies that loops in the descriptor chain are forbidden!

2.6.5.3.1 Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue Size of
the device.

If I understand the spec correctly, the check is only needed for a single
indirect descriptor table?

For packed virtqueue. We had:

2.7.17 Driver Requirements: Scatter-Gather Support

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor list longer than allowed by the
device.

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor list longer than the Queue Size.

2.7.19 Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than allowed by the
device.

So it looks to me the packed part is fine.

Note that if I understand the spec correctly 2.7.17 implies 2.7.19.

Thanks
It would be quite strange for packed and split to differ here:
so for packed would you say there's no limit on # of descriptors at all?

I am guessing I just forgot to move this part from
the format specific to the common part of the spec.

This needs discussion in the TC mailing list - want to start a thread
there?


Will do.

Thanks
