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: VIRTIO-145: pci: configuration access capability rules are unclear -------------------------------------- Specification merely says PCI config access capability aliases a device BAR. This seems to allow config access to legacy BAR (for transitional devices) but how should device interpret such an access? -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- The point of the configuration access capability is to enable access to other capabilities. The intent never was to allow writes to a random place within device BARs. Limiting drivers simplifies devices - and devices can always add another capability if drivers ever want to access some other range. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.devel/877 -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.0 cs04", 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. --------------------------------------
