[Qemu-devel] status of pvscsi patches

[Qemu-devel] status of pvscsi patches

[Deep Debroy]

Hi, I was wondering what would be the steps necessary to get the
patches for vmware's pvscsi implementation submitted by Dmitry
Fleytman on 18th March, 2012 applied to qemu? Here's a link to the
intro to the patchset I am referring to:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-03/msg03438.html.

I recently applied the patches to the qemu code base and tested with a
linux guest (using a raw file-backed image) on both kvm and xen and it
seems to be working well: lspci reported the pvscsi controller, the
file-backed disk image attached to the controller was reported by
fdisk and I could create partitions, mount a file system and perform
IO on it.

Thanks,
Deep

P.s. I just joined qemu-devel. So I do not have the original email
thread for pvscsi in my inbox that I could directly respond to. Hence
starting a new thread.

There was no substantial objection on my part.  If the patches are
refreshed and sent again to qemu-devel, I'll happily send a pull request
for it.
