Subject: [Qemu-devel] [QEMU] [PATCH v5 7/8] bootdevice: FW_CFG interface for LCHS values
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 15:39:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190626123948.10199-8-shmuel.eiderman@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190626123948.10199-1-shmuel.eiderman@oracle.com>
Using fw_cfg, supply logical CHS values directly from QEMU to the BIOS.
Non-standard logical geometries break under QEMU.
A virtual disk which contains an operating system which depends on
logical geometries (consistent values being reported from BIOS INT13
AH=08) will most likely break under QEMU/SeaBIOS if it has non-standard
logical geometries - for example 56 SPT (sectors per track).
No matter what QEMU will report - SeaBIOS, for large enough disks - will
use LBA translation, which will report 63 SPT instead.
In addition we cannot force SeaBIOS to rely on physical geometries at
all. A virtio-blk-pci virtual disk with 255 phyiscal heads cannot
report more than 16 physical heads when moved to an IDE controller,
since the ATA spec allows a maximum of 16 heads - this is an artifact of
virtualization.
By supplying the logical geometries directly we are able to support such
"exotic" disks.
We serialize this information in a similar way to the "bootorder"
interface.
The new fw_cfg entry is "bios-geometry".
