I think it is OK, I'll submit it as a bug fix for QEMU 1.1.

It should be applied to qemu-xen-traditional too.

And the other one ("qemu/xendisk: properly update stats in
ioreq_release()") probably too.

Right.
That patch is already in upstream QEMU and qemu-xen-upstream but it is
missing in qemu-xen-traditional.

Can you tell me the commit id in qemu-xen-upstream so I can put it in
the commit message in qemu-xen-traditional ?

Thanks,
Ian.

Reading more carefully, you are actually talking about a different
patch from the one in the subject line.
Here is what you are looking for:

    While for the "normal" case (called from blk_send_response_all())
    decrementing requests_finished is correct, doing so in the parse error
    case is wrong; requests_inflight needs to be decremented instead.

[PATCH, v3] qemu/xendisk: set maximum number of grants to be used

[Jan Beulich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1667 bytes --]

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this to be done when the
number of grants intended to be used simultaneously exceeds a certain
driver specific default limit.

Change in v2: Double the number requested, as we need to account for
the allocations needing to happen in contiguous chunks. The worst case
number would be max_req * max_seg + (max_req - 1) * (max_seg - 1) + 1,
but in order to keep things simple just use 2 * max_req * max_seg.

Change in v3: introduce MAX_GRANTS(), and add a comment explaining its
definition.

qemu/xendisk: set maximum number of grants to be used

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this to be done when the
number of grants intended to be used simultaneously exceeds a certain
driver specific default limit.

Change in v2: Double the number requested, as we need to account for
the allocations needing to happen in contiguous chunks. The worst case
number would be max_req * max_seg + (max_req - 1) * (max_seg - 1) + 1,
but in order to keep things simple just use 2 * max_req * max_seg.

Change in v3: introduce MAX_GRANTS(), and add a comment explaining its
