[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] blockdev: reset werror/rerror on drive_del

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden> suggested the following test case:

1. Launch a guest and wait at the GRUB boot menu:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 \
   -drive if=none,cache=none,file=test.img,id=foo,werror=stop,rerror=stop
   -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=foo,id=virtio0,addr=4

2. Hot unplug the device:

  (qemu) drive_del foo

3. Select the first boot menu entry

Without this patch the guest pauses due to ENOMEDIUM.  But it is not
possible to resolve this situation - the drive has become anonymous.

With this patch the guest the guest gets the ENOMEDIUM error.

Note that this scenario actually happens sometimes during libvirt disk
hot unplug, where device_del is followed by drive_del.  I/O may still be
submitted to the drive after drive_del if the guest does not process the
PCI hot unplug notification.
