While using SCSI passthrough, Following scenario makes qemu doesn't realized the capacity change of remote scsi target: 1. online resize the scsi target. 2. issue 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh -s ...' in host. 3. issue 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh -s ...' in vm.
In above scenario I used to experienced errors while accessing the additional disk space in vm. I think the reasonable operations should be: 1. online resize the scsi target. 2. issue 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh -s ...' in host. 3. issue 'block_resize' via qmp to notify qemu. 4. issue 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh -s ...' in vm. The errors disappear once I notify qemu by block_resize via qmp. So this patch replaces the number of logical blocks of READ CAPACITY response from scsi target by qemu's bs->total_sectors. If the user in vm wants to access the additional disk space, The administrator of host must notify qemu once resizeing the scsi target. Bonus is that domblkinfo of libvirt can reflect the consistent capacity information between host and vm in case of missing block_resize in qemu. E.g: ... <disk type='block' device='lun'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sdc' index='1'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <alias name='scsi0-0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> ...
