[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ide: Set BSY bit during FLUSH

["Andreas Färber" <afaerber@suse.de>]

The implementation of the ATA FLUSH command invokes a flush at the block
layer, which may on raw files on POSIX entail a synchronous fdatasync().
This may in some cases take so long that the SLES 11 SP1 guest driver
reports I/O errors and filesystems get corrupted or remounted read-only.

Avoid this by setting BUSY_STAT, so that the guest is made aware we are
in the middle of an operation and no ATA commands are attempted to be
processed concurrently.

Addresses BNC#637297.
