[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.0] virtio-blk: pass full status to the guest


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.0] virtio-blk: pass full status to the guest
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 13:19:40 +0100

When SCSI passthrough is being used by the guest with virtio-blk, the
guest is not able to detect disk failures.  This is because the status
field is expected by the guest driver to include also the msg_status,
host_status and driver_status fields, but the device is only passing
down the SCSI status.

The patch fixes this, and also makes sure that the guest always sees a
CHECK_CONDITION status when there is valid sense data.

        Sorry for missing the -rc deadline, testing this requires
        Fibre Channel stuff so I needed someone to do it for me. :)
