And maybe find a > way to let host know? I'm wondering whether virtio-pci surprise removal would need more support in drivers than virtio-ccw surprise removal; given that virtio-ccw *only* supports surprise removal and I don't remember any problem reports, the situation is probably not that bad. Is surprise removal of block devices still a big problem? We have some support for (non-virtio) ccw devices (e.g. dasd) via a 'disconnected' state that was designed to mitigate problems with block devices that are suddenly gone. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
