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 #96: virtio-ccw: relax device requirement for revision-specific command rejection -------------------------------------- The device is currently required to reject any command that is not contained in the negotiated revision. Some implementations did not actively check for the revision when processing a command; retroactively changing these implementations can break existing drivers. Relaxing the rejection requirement to SHOULD makes these existing device implementations compliant, and will not have any effect on drivers that did not send any commands for wrong revisions. Proposed patch: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202102/msg00019.html -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202102/msg00019.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. --------------------------------------
