[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/13] AHCI emulation support v8


From: Alexander Graf
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/13] AHCI emulation support v8
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2010 13:13:07 +0100

This patch adds support for AHCI emulation. I have tested and verified it works
in Linux, OpenBSD, Windows Vista and Windows 7. This AHCI emulation supports
NCQ, so multiple read or write requests can be outstanding at the same time.

The code is however not fully optimized yet. I'm fairly sure that there are
low hanging performance fruits to be found still :). In my simple benchmarks
I achieved about 2/3rd of virtio performance.

Also, this AHCI emulation layer does not support legacy mode. So if you're
using a disk with this emulation, you do not get it exposed using the legacy
IDE interfaces.

Another nitpick is CD-ROM support in Windows. Somehow it doesn't detect a
CD-ROM drive attached to AHCI. At least it doesn't list it.

To attach an AHCI disk to your VM, please use

  -drive id=disk,file=...,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci \
  -device ide-drive,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0

Big endian hosts are still broken due to qemu shortcomings in mmio handing.
With the mmio endianness patch set, ahci works there too.

This patch set is based on work done during the Google Summer of Code. I was
mentoring a student, Roland Elek, who wrote most of the AHCI emulation code
based on a patch from Chong Qiao. A bunch of other people were also involved,
so everybody who I didn't mention - thanks a lot!

  git://repo.or.cz/qemu/ahci.git ahci
