stable inclusion from stable-5.10.75 commit 92e6e08ca2b056d0474a599527556c4ecc30ebbf bugzilla: 182987 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4I3MP

--------------------------------
commit 2f9a174f918e29608564c7a4e8329893ab604fb4 upstream.
The virtio specification virtio-v1.1-cs01 states: "Transitional devices MUST detect Legacy drivers by detecting that VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 has not been acknowledged by the driver." This is exactly what QEMU as of 6.1 has done relying solely on VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 for detecting that.
However, the specification also says: "... the driver MAY read (but MUST NOT write) the device-specific configuration fields to check that it can support the device ..." before setting FEATURES_OK.
In that case, any transitional device relying solely on VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 for detecting legacy drivers will return data in legacy format. In particular, this implies that it is in big endian format for big endian guests. This naturally confuses the driver which expects little endian in the modern mode.
It is probably a good idea to amend the spec to clarify that VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 can only be relied on after the feature negotiation is complete. Before validate callback existed, config space was only read after FEATURES_OK. However, we already have two regressions, so let's address this here as well.
The regressions affect the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature of virtio-net and the VIRTIO_BLK_F_BLK_SIZE feature of virtio-blk for BE guests when virtio 1.0 is used on both sides. The latter renders virtio-blk unusable with DASD backing, because things simply don't work with the default. See Fixes tags for relevant commits.
For QEMU, we can work around the issue by writing out the feature bits with VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 bit set. We (ab)use the finalize_features config op for this. This isn't enough to address all vhost devices since these do not get the features until FEATURES_OK, however it looks like the affected devices actually never handled the endianness for legacy mode correctly, so at least that's not a regression.
No devices except virtio net and virtio blk seem to be affected.
Long term the right thing to do is to fix the hypervisors.
