[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] virtio: fix some issues of "started" and "start_on_kick" flag

[elohimes]

From: Xie Yongji <address@hidden>

We introduced two flags "started" and "start_on_kick" to indicate virtio
device's state before. But there still are some problems with them. So
we try to fixup them in this patchset.

The patch 1 fixes a regression bug that old guest is not able to boot with
vhost-user-blk device.

The patch 2,3,4 fix some problems with "started" and "start_on_kick" flag.

The patch 5 introduces a "use-started" property to avoid a migration
issue under Greg Kurz's suggestion [1].

Xie Yongji (5):
  virtio: Set "start_on_kick" on virtio_set_features()
  virtio: Migrate the "start_on_kick" flag
  virtio: Make sure we get correct state of device on
    handle_aio_output()
  virtio: Don't change "started" flag on virtio_vmstate_change()
  virtio: add "use-started" property
