This patch adds basic support for configuring and assisting virtio-mmio
based virtio-disk backend (emulator) which is intended to run out of
Qemu and could be run in any domain.
Although the Virtio block device is quite different from traditional
Xen PV block device (vbd) from the toolstack's point of view:
 - as the frontend is virtio-blk which is not a Xenbus driver, nothing
   written to Xenstore are fetched by the frontend currently ("vdev"
   is not passed to the frontend). But this might need to be revised
   in future, so frontend data might be written to Xenstore in order to
   support hotplugging virtio devices or passing the backend domain id
   on arch where the device-tree is not available.
 - the ring-ref/event-channel are not used for the backend<->frontend
   communication, the proposed IPC for Virtio is IOREQ/DM
it is still a "block device" and ought to be integrated in existing
"disk" handling. So, re-use (and adapt) "disk" parsing/configuration
logic to deal with Virtio devices as well.

For the immediate purpose and an ability to extend that support for
other use-cases in future (Qemu, virtio-pci, etc) perform the following
actions:
- Add new disk backend type (LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_OTHER) and reflect
  that in the configuration
- Introduce new disk "specification" and "transport" fields to struct
  libxl_device_disk. Both are written to the Xenstore. The transport
  field is only used for the specification "virtio" and it assumes
  only "mmio" value for now.
- Introduce new "specification" option with "xen" communication
  protocol being default value.
- Add new device kind (LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VIRTIO_DISK) as current
  one (LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD) doesn't fit into Virtio disk model

An example of domain configuration for Virtio disk:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mmcblk0p3, xvda1, backendtype=other, specification=virtio']

Nothing has changed for default Xen disk configuration.

Please note, this patch is not enough for virtio-disk to work
on Xen (Arm), as for every Virtio device (including disk) we need
to allocate Virtio MMIO params (IRQ and memory region) and pass
them to the backend, also update Guest device-tree. The subsequent
patch will add these missing bits. For the current patch,
the default "irq" and "base" are just written to the Xenstore.
This is not an ideal splitting, but this way we avoid breaking
the bisectability.

Is this still an issue? Since v5, the "disk/vbd" kind is used. Also see
my comment about libxl_device_disk_get_path() regarding this.

Could you check that `disk->transport` is unset when
`specification==xen` ? And probably return ERROR_INVAL in this case.

Also, I don't think you should overwrite the value set by an application
in _setdefault(). If `specification==virtio`, check first that
`transport` as a supported value (unknown or mmio) then you can then you
can set the `transport` value expected by virtio if it wasn't set by the
application. ( An example of this is done the function already when
enforcing qdisk for cdroms. )

I'm not sure whether this assert() is useful. The value should already
be correct as we call _setdefault(). It seems like an unnecessary
potential crash at this point.

I don't think this is a good assert(). If an application sets the wrong
"transport" for virtio, it should get an error, not crash. But I believe
in this case that _setdefault() could already check that "transport" is
correct, so there's probably no need to check the transport value here.

This mean that we introduce an hard error if we deal with a previous
version of libxl that didn't write this path. But we know that it meant
specification=xen, so could we default to "xen" when the node is
missing, rather than return an error? (It's mostly useful for developper
at this point as creating a vm with one version of libxl and keep
managing it with a newer version isn't really possible for now.)

That's a reimplementation of a generated function,
libxl_disk_specification_from_string() I believe ;-)

That's libxl_disk_transport_from_string() I think.

Could you return an error instead of assert() here?

FYI, "libxl_" prefix is for functions exported by the library. You could
use "libxl__" for functions used within the library or no prefix in this
case as it is static.

That mean, we can't have both virtio-disk and pv-disk, and there's going
to be weird error with device disappearing if one try to add a pv-disk
after adding a virtio-disk.

Also, I don't know whether the function is called before a first device
is added, but it could be a potential issue as it would return an error
in that case.

The path generated here are path that are only used by libxl, so it
probably doesn't matter which path is used, as long as there's a unique
path for a device implementation. (The different path might have been
useful in v4 of the series when there was a libxl-virtio-disk
implementation.)

So, is there a reason to have different path? Can we simply get rid of
this function?

Maybe this is related to the path that a frontend would see, and we
probably don't want to have a pv-disk front-end trying to connect to a
virtio backend as it doesn't going to work. I wonder if the
"/libxl/*/device/" needs to use the same "device kind" name as the ones
seen by a guest. I didn't investigated that.

Could you add a comment here about "irq" and "base", that say that they
are for internal use by libxl and can't be modified? Is it possible
that in the future, an application like libvirt could potentially change
those two values and have libxl use them?

Yes, it is.

Both LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD and LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VIRTIO_DISK are for 
disk devices, but they are quite different from toolstack PoV.

They use different specifications/transports. The latter is for 
virtio-blk driver which is not xenbus driver. The way how both Virtio 
backend and frontend get configuration and communicate with each

are completely different from Xen PV drivers.

ok, I can drop this. The reason why I put this assert is to draw 
developer's attention (who will implement pci transport in future) to 
the need

to update code below.

Taking into the account both comments, the resulting code can look 
something like that:

     tmp = libxl__xs_read(gc, XBT_NULL,
                          GCSPRINTF("%s/specification", libxl_path));

I was thinking this wouldn't be a big issue (at least on production). I 
might be wrong, but what is a reason to assign to the guest the virtual 
devices of the *same* type (block device) using different virtualization 
techniques (Xen PV and Virtio)?

I think, the completely different guest's view of the virtualized device 
is a reason. If virtio-disk and pv-disk was only different in software 
implementation of the backend, I would reuse LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD for 
virtio-disk. But their frontends are completely different. Or I really 
misunderstood the idea of device_kind?

Without it, libxl_vdev_to_device_disk() won't work for virtio-disk.

Yes, exactly

I am not sure I understand that the libvirt is for, but I don't see a 
need for any external application to touch these fields. These are 
allocated internally in libxl_arm.c.
