[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1603693] [NEW] Disks in mptsas1068 scsi controller not seen by linux

[Dx <1603693@bugs.launchpad.net>]

Public bug reported:

When using the mptsas1068 scsi controller, linux detects the controller
itself but not the drives attached to it. Freebsd works. Using a
different controller with linux works. VMware with linux works.

qemu 2.6.50 (v2.6.0-1925-g6b92bbf)
seabios rel-1.9.0-139-gae3f78f (master branch, required for mptsas1068 support)

Test script, loosely based off what libvirt runs and the libvirt tests
that Paolo Bonzini wrote [1]

The ISOs can be downloaded from [2] and [3].

After booting linux, do "lsblk". /dev/sda should exist.

After booting freebsd, do "geom disk list". A da0 / "QEMU QEMU HARDDISK"
should be mentioned.

With device=mptsas1068 this fails in linux.

With device=lsi line it works in both.

With VMWare and a linux VM (opensuse 10.1, kernel 2.6.18) which only
loads modules for mptsas1068, this works.

I also reproduced this with the debian 8.5 netinstall image, but it
insists in making you pick a driver from a list of modules when it fails
to mount it, instead of dropping to a shell.

The controller itself is detected, the disk isn't.

An early version of this patch [4] said that it was only tested with
FreeBSD:

>Tested with FreeBSD for now.  The previous version (before the
>configuration page rewrite) worked with RHEL and Windows guests as well.
>
>TODO: write qtest for (at least) config pages, test Linux and Windows.
