Subject: [PATCH v9 5/5] docs/zoned-storage:add zoned emulation use case
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 22:45:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230327144553.4315-6-faithilikerun@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230327144553.4315-1-faithilikerun@gmail.com>
Add the documentation about the example of using virtio-blk driver
to pass the zoned block devices through to the guest.

@@ -41,3 +41,20 @@ APIs for zoned storage emulation or testing.
For example, to test zone_report on a null_blk device using qemu-io is:
$ path/to/qemu-io --image-opts -n driver=host_device,filename=/dev/nullb0
-c "zrp offset nr_zones"
+
+To expose the host's zoned block device through virtio-blk, the command line
+can be (includes the -device parameter):
+ -blockdev node-name=drive0,driver=host_device,filename=/dev/nullb0,
+ cache.direct=on \
+ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0
+Or only use the -drive parameter:
+ -driver driver=host_device,file=/dev/nullb0,if=virtio,cache.direct=on
+
+Additionally, QEMU has several ways of supporting zoned storage, including:
+(1) Using virtio-scsi: --device scsi-block allows for the passing through of
+SCSI ZBC devices, enabling the attachment of ZBC or ZAC HDDs to QEMU.
+(2) PCI device pass-through: While NVMe ZNS emulation is available for testing
+purposes, it cannot yet pass through a zoned device from the host. To pass on
+the NVMe ZNS device to the guest, use VFIO PCI pass the entire NVMe PCI adapter
+through to the guest. Likewise, an HDD HBA can be passed on to QEMU all HDDs
+attached to the HBA.
