Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH 0/2] Allow cache settings for block devices to be changed at runtime.
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:19:56 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110228171956.05a84fb9@zephyr> (raw)
The following patchset introduces monitor commands:
1. set_cache DEVICE CACHE-SETTING
Change cache settings for block device, DEVICE, through the monitor.
(Available options : 'none', 'writeback', 'writethrough')
Eg,
(qemu)set_cache ide0-hd0 none
-> Changes cache setting for ide0-hd0 to 'none'
2. info block
Now extended to display cache settings for available block devices.
TODOS :
-------
1. Support 'unsafe' cache mode.
2. Display current cache setting for device, if the CACHE-SETTING option
is not supplied by the user. Eg,
(qemu)set_cache ide0-hd0
presently errors out. Ideally, it should display current cache setting
for the given device ide0-hd0
