For excample, Qemu calls virtio_reset->virtio_gpu_gl_reset when guest resume, that function will destroy render resources of virtio-gpu. As a result, after guest resume, the display can't come back and we only saw a black screen. Due to guest can't re-create all the resources, so we need to let Qemu not to destroy them when S3. For above purpose, we need a mechanism that allows guests and QEMU to negotiate their reset behavior. So this patch add a new parameter named freeze_mode to struct virtio_pci_common_cfg. And when guest suspends, it can write freeze_mode to be FREEZE_S3, and then virtio devices can change their reset behavior on Qemu side according to freeze_mode. What's more, freeze_mode can be used for all virtio devices to affect the behavior of Qemu, not just virtio gpu device.Hi Jiqian, Have you seen this series: [PATCH 0/5] virtio: introduce SUSPEND bit and vq state 3f4cbf84-010c-cffa-0b70-33c449b5561b@intel.com/T/">https://lore.kernel.org/all/3f4cbf84-010c-cffa-0b70-33c449b5561b@intel.com/T/ We introduced a bit in the device status SUSPEND, when VIRTIO_F_SUSPEND is negotiated, the driver can set SUSPEND in the device status to suspend the device. When SUSPEND, the device should pause its operations and preserve its configurations in its configuration space. The driver re-write DRIVER_OK to clear SUSPEND, so the device resumes running. This is originally to serve live migration, but I think it can also meet your needs.I noticed your series, but I am not sure they are also meet my needs. If driver write 0 to reset device, can the SUSPEND bit be cleared? (pci_pm_resume->virtio_pci_restore->virtio_device_restore->virtio_reset_device)
I think when enter S3, the hypervisor/driver should set SUSPEND to the device. And when resume from S3, the hypervisor/driver shouldIf SUSPEND is cleared, then during the reset process in Qemu, I can't judge if the reset request is from guest restore process or not, and then I can't change the reset behavior.
re-write DRIVER_OK to clear SUSPEND, then the device resume running.
Can you send me your patch link on kernel and qemu side? I will take a deep look.
There are no patches for qemu/kernel yet, spec first.
