[virtio-comment] [RFC PATCH v1] virtio-vsock: use enums instead of hardcoded constants

[Arseny Krasnov]

This replaces constants defined in "bit X set to Y" manner
with enums from Linux kernel uapi headers.

I'm not sure, in Linux driver there are several cases when these constants are used

independently from each over, but I think, this is question to implementation of virtio

vsock protocol, while this patch is cosmetic for specification.

Yes, even if Linux doesn't use it like that, we allow it in the spec.
What about:

"When a connected socked receives VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_SHUTDOWN, the header
\field{flags} contains a combination of one or more of the following
constants:"

I think Cornelia's point is that from the "is one of the following 
constants" sentence it looks like only one of these flags can be set.
Instead both of them could be set together, and I guess this is the most 
frequent use case.

I think Cornelia's point is that from the "is one of the following 
constants" sentence it looks like only one of these flags can be set.
Instead both of them could be set together, and I guess this is the most 
frequent use case.

Constants is kind of weird here, and this just makes the reader jump
through more hoops to figure out the value for little gain.
How about more clarity at cost of a bit of repetition:

---
Currently only stream sockets are supported. \field{type} is 1 for stream
socket types.

\begin{lstlisting}
#define VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_STREAM 1
\end{lstlisting}
---

The use of enum seems questionable. Rest of spec except for sound uses
#define which while not documented is at least an english word.
I'd say it is easier to convert sound for consistency.

BTW we should probably document the use of #define in introduction.tex

combination is kind of vague ...  Also, bit numbers are generally more
useful than masks.  Also, let's eschew abbreviation. And again a bit of
repetition here will just make things easier to read imho.

So how about e.g.

\field{flags} field bit 0 indicates that the peer will not receive any more
data and bit 1 indicates that the peer will not send
any more data.

+#define VIRTIO_VSOCK_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVE_BIT 0
+#define VIRTIO_VSOCK_SHUTDOWN_SEND_BIT 1

then teach linux about VIRTIO_VSOCK_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVE_BIT and VIRTIO_VSOCK_SHUTDOWN_SEND_BIT

Maybe we should also document 'enum'? Or do we want to convert all
existing uses?

I'm not opposed to introducing defines for bits, but wouldn't it be
easier to say that the following bits can be set, then define the bits,
and then explain what the bits mean? Just in case we come up with
something in the future that needs another bit.
