Currently there is no way for user to set what features the driver should obey or not, it is hard wired in the code. In order to be able to debug the device behavior in case some feature is disabled, introduce a debugfs infrastructure with couple of files allowing user to see what features the device advertises and to set filter for features used by driver. Example: $cat /sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio0/features 1110010111111111111101010000110010000000100000000000000000000000 $ echo "5" >/sys/kernel/debug/virtio/virtio0/filter_feature_add $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/virtio/virtio0/filter_features 5 $ echo "virtio0" > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_net/unbind $ echo "virtio0" > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_net/bind $ cat /sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio0/features 1110000111111111111101010000110010000000100000000000000000000000 Note that sysfs "features" now already exists, this patch does not touch it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
