similar to: [PATCH 0/5] vhost-scsi: Add support for host virtualized target

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi folks, This is the third RFC for vhost-scsi patches against mainline QEMU v1.1 to support the upstream tcm_vhost host virtualized target driver now available in v3.6-rc kernel code. This series is based upon last week's commit 346fe0c4c0b, and is aiming for a future QEMU v1.3 merge. The patch series is available directly from:

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi QEMU folks, The following is the patch series to support vhost-scsi-pci within the upstream QEMU tree. This includes the refactoring of existing virtio-scsi code from Paolo to allow a VirtIOSCSICommon structure that is shared amoungst existing virtio-scsi-pci device and new vhost-scsi-pci device code. Currently this code requires

This is on top of Paolo and Nick's work. Current status: Basically, tcm_vhost + seabios works now. We still have one more issue, vhost_verify_ring_mappings fails. The hotplug also works with the latest tcm_vhost.ko hotplug patch.

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi Anthony, Here are the two patches against Zhi's vhost-scsi tree to check for a supported version (VHOST_SCSI_ABI_VERSION=1) that's now exposed via the tcm_vhost ioctl. Please have a look and let me know if this is what you had in mind. Thanks! Nicholas Bellinger (2): vhost-scsi: Rename vhost_vring_target ->
