For now, 1 minutes are safe.

I see. This is the case even for the software backends.

Probably but it would result in a very complex interface, the device
can just choose to advertise the maximum timeout of all the commands
in this case. As discussed, I think we can start a very long timeout.
Is 1 minutes sufficient in this case?

I see.

As far as I know, different operations will take different time.
For example, the queues are initialized one by one when performing
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET commands. If the number of queues is large, then
this time will be very long.

So we should set different timeouts for different commands.

I meant the interface needs to carefully designed to

1) avoid device to advertise a infinite (or very long) timeout
2) driver need to have its own max timeout regardless what device advertises

Relatively speaking, starting from a 1min+ timeout, I think it is safe.

Drivers have very little information to make the decision. So it's
really a balance.

We can start with a very long timeout like 10 minutes. Otherwise a
buggy/malicious device will block a lot of important things (reboot,
modprobe) even if the scheduler is still functional.

Note that the driver still needs to validate what device advertises to
avoid infinite wait.

Just based on timeout, it is judged that it is a malicious device. I think it is
too arbitrary.

Yes. That is good.

Before introducing this feature, I personally like to use "wait", rather than
define a timeout.

It's kind of hardening for malicious devices.

ATM no amount of hardening can prevent a malicious hypervisor from
blocking the guest. Recovering when a hardware device is broken would be
nice but I think if we do bother then we should try harder to recover,
such as by driving device reset.


Probably, but as discussed in another thread, it needs co-operation in the
upper layer (networking core).

To track all state? Yea, maybe. For sure it's doable just in virtio,
but if you can find 1-2 other drivers that do this internally
then factoring this out to net core will likely be accepted.



One thing that might be useful is to reuse tx_timeout() but current 
virtio-net doesn't do more than a simple warning (other drivers may try 
to reset).


So I would leave it for future investigation.

Thanks

Yes.





Some of the DPUs are very
lazy for cvq handle.

Such design needs to be revisited, cvq (control path) should have a
better priority or QOS than datapath.

Spec says nothing about this, so driver can't assume this either.



Well, my understanding is that it's more than what spec can define or 
it's a kind of best practice.


The current code is one example, that is, driver may choose to busy poll 
which cause spike.






In particular, we will also directly break the device.

It's kind of hardening for malicious devices.

ATM no amount of hardening can prevent a malicious hypervisor from
blocking the guest. Recovering when a hardware device is broken would be
nice but I think if we do bother then we should try harder to recover,
such as by driving device reset.

I think not (see reply in another thread).

Thanks





I think it is necessary to add a Virtio-Net parameter to allow users to define
this timeout by themselves. Although I don't think this is a good way.

Very hard and unfriendly to the end users.

Thanks


Thanks.



gives the scheduler a breath and can let the process can respond to
asignal. If the device doesn't respond in the timeout, break the
device.

Well, it could be tweaked to be a little bit longer.

One way, as discussed, is to let the device advertise a timeout then
the driver can validate if it's valid and use that timeout. But it
needs extension to the spec.

Such design needs to be revisited, cvq (control path) should have a
better priority or QOS than datapath.

It's kind of hardening for malicious devices.

Very hard and unfriendly to the end users.

I don't think that a fixed 1S is a good choice. Some of the DPUs are very
lazy for cvq handle. In particular, we will also directly break the device.

I think it is necessary to add a Virtio-Net parameter to allow users to define
this timeout by themselves. Although I don't think this is a good way.

Thanks.
