This patch series provides a libvirt implementation of the vhost-scsi
interface in QEMU. As near as I can see, this was discussed upstream in
July 2014[1], and ended in a desire to replace a vhost-scsi controller
in favor of a hostdev element instead[2].
There is no capability check in this series for vhost-scsi in the underlying
QEMU. Using a recent QEMU built with --disable-vhost-scsi fails with "not a
valid device model name."
Host Filesystem Example:
# ls /sys/kernel/config/target/vhost/
discovery_auth naa.5001405df3e54061 version
# ls /sys/kernel/config/target/vhost/naa.5001405df3e54061/tpgt_1/lun/
lun_0
QEMU Example (snippet):
-device vhost-scsi-ccw,wwpn=naa.5001405df3e54061,devno=fe.0.1000
Libvirt Example (snippet):
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
<source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.5001405df3e54061'/>
<address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x1000'/>
</hostdev>

Changelog:
v1->v2:
- Rebase
- Applies to current master (20 August)
- Added a capability check for QEMU 2.7
- Fixed the qemuxml2argv tests as the -smp options had changed
- Reworked ccwaddrs parameter in virDomainCCWAddressAssign call
- Comments
- Squashed documentation, XML schema, XML parsing, and infrastructure
patches into a single patch
- Switched from "hostdev type='scsi'" to "hostdev type='scsi_host'";
this removes the refactoring patches since we're not shoe-horning
a new SCSI protocol into the existing code
- Reworked the handling of the fd's such that we send them to qemu
after any possible errors could occur and cause us to back out
- s/qemuBuildSCSIVhostHostdevDevStr/qemuBuildHostHostdevDevStr/
- Added virBufferCheckError, and an error message for vhostfdSize > 1,
in qemuBuildHostHostdevDevStr
- Added qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr in qemuBuildHostHostdevDevStr, thus
superceding the last patch in the v1 series
- Other
- Simplified the vhostfd logic to just be a single int, rather than
an alloc'd array (left the vhostfdSize described above as an
identifier for if QEMU ever supports multiple vhostfds)
- Replaced "qemuMonitorAddDevice" with "qemuMonitorAddDeviceWithFd"
in hotplug routine
