The current SCSI hotplug support attaches a brand new SCSI controller
for every disk. This is broken because the semantics differ from those
used when starting the VM initially. In the latter case, each SCSI
controller is filled before a new one is added.
If the user specifies an high drive index (sdazz) then at initial
startup, many intermediate SCSI controllers may be added with no
drives.
This patch changes SCSI hotplug so that it exactly matches the
behaviour of initial startup. First the SCSI controller number is
determined for the drive to be hotplugged. If any controller upto
and including that controller number is not yet present, it is
attached. Then finally the drive is attached to the last controller.
NB, this breaks SCSI hotunplug, because there is no 'drive_del'
command in current QEMU. Previous SCSI hotunplug was broken in
any case because it was unplugging the entire controller, not
just the drive in question.
A future QEMU will allow proper SCSI hotunplug of a drive.
This patch is derived from work done by Wolfgang Mauerer on disk
controllers.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix SCSI hotplug to add a drive to
the correct controller, instead of just attaching a new
controller.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add
support for 'drive_add' command
This patch allows for explicit hotplug/unplug of SCSI controllers.
Ordinarily this is not required, since QEMU/libvirt will attach
a new SCSI controller whenever one is required. Allowing explicit
hotplug of controllers though, enables the caller to specify a
static PCI address, instead of auto-assigning the next available
PCI slot. Or it will when we have static PCI addressing.
This patch is derived from Wolfgang Mauerer's disk controller
patch series.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support hotplug & unplug of SCSI
controllers

Convert the QEMU monitor APIs over to use virDomainDeviceAddress
structs for passing addresses in/out, instead of individual bits.
This makes the number of parameters smaller & easier to deal with.
