[Qemu-devel] hw/esp.c mishandles commands without dma

[Martin Husemann]

The NetBSD driver sometimes uses commands without DMA (for example a simple
TEST_UNIT_READY). On esp hardware, the command has a DMA bit (if dma is to
be used), and when writing to the command register, the s->dma status is
updated accordingly.

When commands with dma are used and dma is disabled, the command is defered
untill dma is enabled again. This is all fine. However, the deferal should
not happen if the command does not use dma.

This can bee seen by booting NetBSD/sparc: for every scsi device attached
there will be a 5 second timeout and an error message.

Here is a trivial patch wich fixes this problem for me:

I filed a ticket in the bugtracker for it: #1014099.
