Based on various discussions on the 2016 KVM Forum, I'm sending over a vhost-user-scsi implementation for your consideration.
This patch set introduces a new vhost-user SCSI device. While heavily based on vhost-scsi, it is implemented using vhost's userspace counterpart. The device has been coded and tested to work with live migration. A sample application based on the newly introduced libvhost-user is also included. It makes use of libiscsi for simplicity. For convenience, I'm maintaining an up-to-date version of these patches (including some necessary fixes for libvhost-user still under discussion) on: https://github.com/franciozzy/qemu/tree/vus-upstream See the individual patches for build and use instructions.
