[PATCH v2] vdpa/mlx5: Fix mlx5_vdpa_get_config() endianness on big-endian machines
From: Konstantin Shkolnyy
Date: Tue Feb 04 2025 - 12:32:05 EST
mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() doesn’t initialize mvdev->actual_features. It’s
initialized later by mlx5_vdpa_set_driver_features(). However,
mlx5_vdpa_get_config() depends on the VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 flag in
actual_features, to return data with correct endianness. When it’s called
before mlx5_vdpa_set_driver_features(), the data are incorrectly returned
as big-endian on big-endian machines, while QEMU then interprets them as
little-endian.
The fix is to initialize this VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 as early as possible,
especially considering that mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() insists on this flag to
always be set anyway.

Changes in V2: Initialize only VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 in actual_features,
rather than all flags.
