No I think it's good as is, we do not need a callback.
I was simply saying that detach_buf sets data to NULL,
so return vq->data[i] after detach does not make sense.
You need to save data as comment below says.c

Nope, I changed the destroy to detach and return the buffers without
destroying them within the call. I thought it might be useful in some
other case. 

Maybe I should put destroy call back?

Thanks

Almost :) text not intended for git commit logs like the above
should go after ---, this way git am knows to skip it.

This is a single statement loop, so you do not need {}
around it. Or even better:
for (i = 0; i < vq->vring.num; ++i) {
if (!vq->data[i])
continue;
...
}
which has less nesting.

You wrote that comment, but did you read it :)

In fact, this will return NULL always, won't it?

Please add documentation in virtio.h
Thanks!

[RFC PATCH] Subject: virtio: Add unused buffers detach from vring

2009-12-15 Thread Shirley Ma
I submit one split patch for review to make sure that's the right format.
I copied Rusty's comment for the commit message, and change destroy
to detach since we destroy the buffers in caller. This patch is built
against Dave's net-next tree.

There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused
buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown.
This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information.  So
add a new hook to do this: virtio_net will be the first user.
