[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/6] block-backend: Always notify on blk_eject

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

blk_eject is only used by scsi-disk and atapi, and in both cases we
only attempt to invoke blk_eject if we have a bona-fide change in
tray state.

The "issue" here is that the tray state does not generate a QMP event
unless there is a medium/BDS attached to the device, so if libvirt et al
are waiting for a tray event to occur from an empty-but-closed drive,
software opening that drive will not emit an event and libvirt will
wait forever.

Change this by modifying blk_eject to always emit an event, instead of
conditionally on a "real" backend eject.
