[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3] Introduce vhost-user-scsi and sample application

[Felipe Franciosi <felipe@nutanix.com>]

Based on various discussions on the 2016 KVM Forum, I'm sending over a
vhost-user-scsi implementation for your consideration.

This patchset introduces a new vhost-user SCSI device. While heavily
based on vhost-scsi, it is implemented using vhost's userspace
counterpart. The device has been coded and tested to work with live
migration.

As part of this work, a new vhost-scsi-common device was created and
the existing vhost-scsi device moved underneath it. The new
vhost-user-scsi device is also placed underneath it.

A sample application based on the newly introduced libvhost-user is
also included. It makes use of libiscsi for simplicity.

For convenience, I'm maintaining an up-to-date version of these
patches (including some necessary fixes for libvhost-user) on:

https://github.com/franciozzy/qemu/tree/vus-upstream-3

See the individual patches for build and use instructions.
