Description

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following. If you disagree, please vote No. If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain. I move that: The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue: Issue #36: virtio ring features: inconsistent naming -------------------------------------- Reported-by: Don Wallwork <don.wallwork@broadcom.com> features like VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX and VIRTIO_F_INDIRECT_DESC do not appear in Linux kernel or QEMU code; VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX and VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC are used instead. Also noticed that there seems to be an inconsistency in the spec in that VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX is used in some places and VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX is used in others https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/201902/msg00032.html Proposed patch: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202105/msg00003.html -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202105/msg00003.html -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.2-cs01", and future versions of the specification. -------------------------------------- Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the close of the second ballot missed. --------------------------------------
