This inline function is unused on configurations
where dma_map/unmap are empty macros.

Make the function inline to avoid gcc errors because
of an unused static function.

According to the spec, if the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
negotiated the driver MUST set flags to 0. Not dirtying the available
ring in virtqueue_disable_cb also has a minor positive performance
impact, improving L1 dcache load missed by ~0.5% in vring_bench.

Writes to the used event field (vring_used_event) are still unconditional.

We get 1 warning when building kernel with W=1:
drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:170:16: warning: no previous prototype for 'vring_dma_dev' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

In fact, this function is only used in the file in which it is
declared and don't need a declaration, but can be made static.
so this patch marks this function with 'static'.

On error, virtqueue_add calls START_USE but not
END_USE. Thankfully that's normally empty anyway,
but might not be when debugging. Fix it up.

When using the indirect buffers feature, 'desc' is allocated in
virtqueue_add() but isn't freed before leaving on a ring full error,
causing a memory leak.

For example, it seems rather clear that this can trigger
with virtio net if mergeable buffers are not used.

<title>virtio: new feature to detect IOMMU device quirk</title>

<id>1a937693993ff10d7e80cca6ddd55f3000aa6376</id>
<content type='text'>
The interaction between virtio and IOMMUs is messy.

On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses,
and it doesn't particularly matter which one we use to program
the device.

On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device
that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must program the IOMMU
for virtio DMA to work at all.

On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are
enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host
ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't
there or somehow map everything as the identity.

Add a feature bit to detect that quirk: VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Any device with this feature bit set to 0 needs a quirk and has to be
passed physical addresses (as opposed to bus addresses) even though
the device is behind an IOMMU.

Note: it has to be a per-device quirk because for example, there could
be a mix of passed-through and virtual virtio devices. As another
example, some devices could be implemented by an out of process
hypervisor backend (in case of qemu vhost, or vhost-user) and so support
for an IOMMU needs to be coded up separately.

It would be cleanest to handle this in IOMMU core code, but that needs
per-device DMA ops. While we are waiting for that to be implemented, use
a work-around in virtio core.

Note: a "noiommu" feature is a quirk - add a wrapper to make
that clear.

Smatch complains that we might not initialize "queue".  The issue is
callers like setup_vq() from virtio_pci_modern.c where "num" could be
something like 2 and "vring_align" is 64.  In that case, vring_size() is
less than PAGE_SIZE.  It won't happen in real life, but we're getting
the value of "num" from a register so it's not really possible to tell
what value it holds with static analysis.

Let's just silence the warning.

This leaves vring_new_virtqueue alone for compatbility, but it
adds two new improved APIs:

vring_create_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue backed by automatically
allocated coherent memory.  (Some day it this could be extended to
support non-coherent memory, too, if there ends up being a platform
on which it's worthwhile.)

__vring_new_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue with a manually-specified
layout.  This should allow mic_virtio to work much more cleanly.

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor)
physical addresses of its I/O buffers.  This is okay when DMA
addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't
always the case.  For example, this never works on Xen guests, and
it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up
behind an IOMMU or swiotlb.

The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests.
For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation
as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another
driver.
