[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scsi: add free_request callback

[Paolo Bonzini]

Most device models have a simple lifecycle for the hba_private field
and they can free it when a request is completed or cancelled.
However, in some cases it may be simpler to tie the lifetime
of hba_private to that of the included SCSIRequest.  This patch
adds a free_request callback to SCSIBusInfo that lets an HBA
device model do exactly that.

Normally, device models use req->hba_private == NULL to flag requests
that have been completed already.  Device models that use free_request
will still need to track this using a flag.  This is the reason why
"converting" existing HBAs to use free_request adds complexity and
makes little sense.  It is simply an additional convenience that is
provided by the SCSI layer.  USB-attached storage will be the first
user.
