It might still be nice to expose a suitable semantic interface (i.e.
some relevant predicate) rather than the raw value for blkfront to use.
But that can be a future thing I think.

XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY was introduced to enable the platform PCI device
even if it didn't respond properly to the unplug protocol.
The corresponding parameter is called "unnecessary" because if you pass
it to the kernel you mean that it is unnecessary to unplug the emulated
devices but you can use the pv devices anyway.
So no, we shouldn't check for XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY here.

Oh, we will eventually fall through to the return true, so it does
actually work out OK.
I'd still be in favour of handling each option explicitly, for clarity.
Which means checking for XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY.

I think is wrong to check for any xen_emul_unpug options in this function.
The xen_emul_unpug options should be used to set the right value of
xen_platform_pci_unplug. (See my other reply.)

Whichever one we check we should still be checking explicitly for the
"unnecessary" case, for clarity if nothing else.
TBH I think the split between xen_emul_unplug and
xen_platform_pci_unplug is a bit artificial. There should be one value
which is static to platform-pci-unplug.c and accessor functions should
be provided for other code to use. Open coding all those accesses to
xen_platform_pci_unplug in every driver is just too error prone.

Sure, that is OK for me.
In that case should we check for the full list of possible options?
ide-disks -- unplug primary master IDE devices
aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
nics -- unplug network devices
all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
unnecessary -- unplugging emulated devices is
unnecessary even if the host did not respond to
the unplug protocol
never -- do not unplug even if version check succeeds

We probably should. That probably means an extra
xen_has_pv_{disk,nic}_devices() which is the existing one plus the
specific checks?

Considering that if (xen_emul_unplug & XEN_UNPLUG_NEVER) we never set
xen_platform_pci_unplug, this check is redundant.

I had a look at what blkfront was using this for and it seems dumb. How
did we end up with the frontend driver working around toolstack bugs?
If HVM Linux guest didn't want (e.g.,) PV CDROM, the toolstack shouldn't
have created one.
And perhaps more importantly, if you actually want a PV CDROM in a HVM
guest, it's not possible.

Note that this cdrom stuff is actually nothing to do with the unplug
variable -- it just happens to be right next to that check.
Not that the use of the unplug var there doesn't also look pretty odd...

Thank you. I need to do some extra changes to the other subsystems but
for the fb/kbd itshould be still throught the same function as this
patch has exposed. I will repost it and include your Ack if you are OK
with that?
