[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] scsi: add block job opblockers for scsi-block

[Paolo Bonzini]

SCSI passthrough bypasses the block layer and issues SCSI commands
directly to the disk.  This breaks write notifiers and dirty bitmaps,
so that scsi-block devices cannot act as a mirror or backup source
(and commit too, even though that shouldn't be possible at all in the
lack of a backing file).  This series adds op blockers for that purpose.

There is currently a blk_op_unblock but no blk_op_block, so patch 2
adds it.
