Currently libvirt doesn't confirm whether the guest has responded to the disk removal request. In some cases this can leave the guest with continued access to the device while the mgmt layer believes that it has been removed. With a recent qemu monitor command[1] we can deterministically revoke a guests access to the disk (on the QEMU side) to ensure no futher access is permitted. This patch adds support for the drive_unplug() command and introduces it in the disk removal paths. There is some discussion to be had about how to handle the case where the guest is running in a QEMU without this command (and the fact that we currently don't have a way of detecting what monitor commands are available). Changes since v2: - use VIR_ERROR to report when unplug command not found Changes since v1: - return > 0 when command isn't present, < 0 on command failure - detect when drive_unplug command isn't present and log error instead of failing entire command Signed-off-by: Ryan Harper <ryanh@us.ibm.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
