[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/5] libbxl: add support for pvscsi, iteration 4

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Port vscsi=[] and scsi-{attach,detach,list} commands from xend to libxl.

TODO:
 - find better name for ->feature_host (perhaps ->sg_io as used in libvirt?)
 - maybe use events instead of polling for "state" changes in reconfigure
   (libxl__wait_for_backend vs. libxl__ev_devstate_wait)
 - add code to libvirt to actually allow SCSI and target passthrough. The
   current code is still a decade behind: it expects h:c:t:l notation...
 - maybe adjust API for xl and libvirt to work directly with .idl provided
   structs instead of pass domU.cfg strings around

Changes between v3 and v4:
 - Use libxl__device_nextid in libxl__device_vscsi_add
 - Remove check for duplicate pdev assignment from libxl_device_vscsi_get_host
 - Caller provides libxl_device_vscsi to libxl_device_vscsi_get_host
 - Define LIBXL_HAVE_VSCSI
 - Remove init_val from libxl_vscsi_pdev_type
 - Move some functions from libxl to libxlu
 - Introduce libxl_device_vscsi->next_vscsi_dev_id to handle holes
 - Use Struct in KeyedUnion for ocaml idl
 - docs: Mention pvscsi in xl and xl.cfg
 - Turn feature_host into a defbool and add checking
 - Support pvops and /dev/ nodes in config
 - Wrap entire libxlu_vscsi.c with ifdef linux
 - Set remove flag in libxl_device_vscsi_list
 - Fix vscsiif path in xenstore-paths.markdown
 - vscsiif.h: add some notes about xenstore layout
 - Add copyright to libxlu_vscsi.c and libxl_vscsi.c
 - Scripts to create and delete xen-scsiback nodes in Linux target framework
 - Remove pvscsi.txt

Changes between v2 and v3:
 - Adjust change for vscsiif.h
 - Support "naa.wwn:lun" notation in pvops kernel
 - Add example for pvops kernel using targetcli
   patch required for python-rtslib:
   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi.target.devel/8146
 - Use vdev variable in libxl_device_vscsi_parse

Initial attempt was sent a year ago:

Most comments are addressed.

This version has been tested with SLES as backend and frontend.
