Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number of the block device. This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them. ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long and aren't required to be NULL-terminated. The buffer is also zero-padded

Firstly this patch supports more than one virtual queues for virtio-blk device. Secondly this patch maps the virtual queue to blk-mq's hardware queue. With this approach, both scalability and performance can be improved.

In response to Avi's excellent analysis, I've updated virtio as promised (apologies for the delay, travel got in the way). === This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement. The details of probing the device are left to hypervisor-specific

Based on a patch by Mark Wu <dwu at redhat.com> Current index allocation in virtio-blk is based on a monotonically increasing variable "index". This means we'll run out of numbers after a while. It also could cause confusion about the disk name in the case of hot-plugging disks. Change virtio-blk to use ida to allocate index, instead. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Rusty, Jens, I need your opinion on the following patch. It seems to work, but I would like to get some feedback if this patch is the right approach: --- Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd device). Lets add a
