similar to: [PATCH v2] virtio-scsi: hotplug support for virtio-scsi

This patch implements the hotplug support for virtio-scsi. When there is a device attached/detached, the virtio-scsi driver will be signaled via event virtual queue and it will add/remove the scsi device in question automatically. v2: handle no_event event v3: add handle event dropped, and typo fix Signed-off-by: Sen Wang <senwang at linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Cong Meng <mc at

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). This version rebased on Rusty's virtio ring rework patches, which has already gone into virtio-next today. We hope this can go into virtio-next together with the virtio ring rework pathes. V6: rework "redo allocation of target data"

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). The patches build on top of the new virtio APIs at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/18431; the new API simplifies the locking of the virtio-scsi driver nicely, thus it makes sense to require them as a prerequisite.

Hi all, this series adds multiqueue support to the virtio-scsi driver, based on Jason Wang's work on virtio-net. It uses a simple queue steering algorithm that expects one queue per CPU. LUNs in the same target always use the same queue (so that commands are not reordered); queue switching occurs when the request being queued is the only one for the target. Also based on Jason's

Rusty, please review this, and consider for this merge window. This fixes the following virtio spec compliance issues: 1. on restore, drivers use device before setting ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER bits 2. on probe, drivers aren't prepared to handle config interrupts arriving before probe returns 3. on probe, drivers use device before DRIVER_OK it set Note that 1 is a clear violation of virtio

Changes from v4: rename virtio_enable_vqs_early() to virtio_device_ready() Note: Rusty requested we add a BUG_ON in the virtio_ring code. This can be done by a separate patch on top. Good for bisectability in case BUG_ON starts triggering :) Rusty, please review this, and consider for this merge window.
