[PATCH] KVM: Loongarch: Remove undefined a6 argument comment for kvm_hypercall

[Dandan Zhang]

The kvm_hypercall set for LoongArch is limited to a1-a5.
The mention of a6 in the comment is undefined that needs to be rectified.

Dandan,

Nice catch. In future hypercall abi may expand such as the number of 
input register and output register, or async hypercall function if there 
is really such requirement.

Anyway the modification is deserved and it is enough to use now, thanks 
for doing it.

Maybe it is better to implement kvm_hypercall6() than remove a6 now?

It seems that The LoongArch KVM implementation does not include a 
kvm_hypercall6() function.

This might be a typo or an oversight.

That is one option also. The main reason is that there is no such 
requirement in near future :(, I prefer to removing the annotation and 
keeping it clean.

I don't like removing something and then adding it back again, so if
kvm_hypercall6() is needed in future, it is better to add it now.

I do not see the requirement by now.

At the same time I just suggest you care about LoongArch kernel and 
catch up the gap, just go forward rather than go around. Is it 
responsibility of maintainer to catch future direction?

Thanks for merging LoongArch KVM code at beginning, and I think I can 
merge LoongArch kvm kernel to KVM tree directly just like KVM 
x86/ARM64/RISCV.

Re: [PATCH] KVM: Loongarch: Remove undefined a6 argument comment for kvm_hypercall

[WangYuli]

Hi Bibo and Huacai,


Ah... tell me you two aren't arguing, right?


Both of you are working towards the same goal—making the upstream

code for the Loongarch architecture as clean and elegant as possible.

If it's just a disagreement about how to handle this small patch,

there's no need to make things complicated.


As a partner of yours and a community developer passionate about

Loongson CPU, I'd much rather see you two working together

harmoniously than complaining about each other's work. I have full

confidence in Bibo's judgment on the direction of KVM for Loongarch,

and I also believe that Huacai, as the Loongarch maintainer, has always

been fulfilling his responsibilities.


You are both excellent Linux developers. That's all.


To be specific about the controversy caused by this particular commit,

I think the root cause is that the KVM documentation for Loongarch

hasn't been upstreamed. In my opinion, the documentation seems

ready to be upstreamed. If you're all busy with more important work,

I can take the time to submit them and provide a Chinese translation.


If this is feasible, it would be better to merge this commit after that.


Best wishes,

Yuli,

The argument is normal in the work and life :)

You are right, KVM document is important and any contribution is welcome.

Bibo has made lots of contributions on LoongArch/KVM, and he is more
professional than me. I hope we can collaborate well in the future.
For this patch itself, I've applied to loongarch-fixes, thanks.

Re: [PATCH] KVM: Loongarch: Remove undefined a6 argument comment for kvm_hypercall

[WangYuli]

Hi all,


The English documentation for LoongArch KVM has been submitted.


Link: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/04DAF94279B88A3F+20240731055755.84082-1-wangyuli@uniontech.com/

To ensure consistency,I have observed that a complete Chinese

translation of the KVM subsystem is currently absent from the kernel.


Consequently,I will undertake the translation of the entire subsystem

prior to incorporating the LoongArch KVM-specific documentation.


This process may require some time,but I will endeavor to complete

it as expeditiously as possible.


Best wishes,
