[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/9] vhost-scsi: Add support for host virtualized target

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@linux-iscsi.org>]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Hi Anthony + QEMU storage folks,

The following is a reviewable RFC series of vhost-scsi against yesterday's
QEMU.git/master @ commit 401a66357d.

The series is available directly from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/nab/qemu-kvm.git vhost-scsi-merge

It contains the squashed + re-ordered patches from Stefan -> Zhi's QEMU
original work into a updated series against recent QEMU code.

As mentioned recently on qemu-devel here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg03280.html

the 'vhost-scsi-merge' branch is currently failing with vhost/virtio
errors using the latest HEAD.  Stefan + myself are currently working through
the 1.1.0 regressions, and will be posting incremental patches against this
working tree as individual progress is made..

Please have a look.

P.S:

Also, for folks who are interested in trying out a working virtio-scsi <-> tcm_vhost
setup, check out using branch 'vhost-scsi' with the last pre-regression
commit from upstream QEMU that appears to be performing very well.

This along with target-pending.git/for-next-merge for KVM host + a virtio-scsi
SCSI LLD bugfix for KVM guest that's headed into 3.6-rc1 here should be enough
to get up and running:

virtio-scsi: Add vdrv->scan for post VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK LUN scanning

Thanks!
