[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] xen_platform: unplug also SCSI disks

[Olaf Hering]

Using 'vdev=sd[a-o]' will create an emulated LSI controller, which can
be used by the emulated BIOS to boot from disk. If the HVM domU has also
PV driver the disk may appear twice in the guest. To avoid this an
unplug of the emulated hardware is needed, similar to what is done for
IDE and NIC drivers already.

Since the SCSI controller provides only disks the entire controller can
be unplugged at once.

Impact of the change for classic and pvops based guest kernels:

 vdev=sda:disk0
before: pvops:   disk0=pv xvda + emulated sda
        classic: disk0=pv sda  + emulated sdq
after:  pvops:   disk0=pv xvda
        classic: disk0=pv sda

 vdev=hda:disk0, vdev=sda:disk1
before: pvops:   disk0=pv xvda
                 disk1=emulated sda
        classic: disk0=pv hda
                 disk1=pv sda  + emulated sdq
after:  pvops:   disk0=pv xvda
                 disk1=not accessible by blkfront, index hda==index sda
        classic: disk0=pv hda
                 disk1=pv sda

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] xen_platform: SUSE xenlinux unplug for emulated PCI

[Olaf Hering]

Implement SUSE specific unplug protocol for emulated PCI devices
in PVonHVM guests. Its a simple 'outl(1, (ioaddr + 4));'.
This protocol was implemented and used since Xen 3.0.4.
It is used in all SUSE/SLES/openSUSE releases up to SLES11SP3 and
openSUSE 12.3.
In addition old (pre-2011) VMDP versions are handled as well.

How are these patches supposed to find their way into
qemu-xen.git#staging? Do I have to wait until #staging gets updated to
qemu-2.8+ at some point, or would you please cherry-pick these two commits:

3513201 xen_platform: SUSE xenlinux unplug for emulated PCI
78f6689 xen_platform: unplug also SCSI disks

Anthony, are you going to take care of this?
However, given the state of the release, they'll need a release-ack to
be applied.

I think these patches will need to wait to be backported after 4.8 is
released.

Also this patch should be backported to every tree containing qemu-2.1+:
"xen_disk: split discard input to match internal representation"
