[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 0/8] More sensible default for -drive interface type |
Date: |

Block backends defined with -drive if=T, T!=none are meant to be
picked up by machine initialization code: a suitable frontend gets
created and wired up automatically.
if=T drives not picked up that way can still be used with -device as
if they had if=none, but that's unclean and best avoided. Unused ones
produce an "Orphaned drive without device" warning.
Many machine types default to if=ide, even though they don't actually
have an IDE controller. A few default to if=scsi, even though they
lack a SCSI HBA. Change their default to if=none.
While their, fix handling of index and unit for a few machines with
AHCI controllers.
With the improved default, unintentional definition of orphaned drives
should be unlikely. Improve the "orphaned drive" warning and turn it
into an error. Drop a few special cases of this error that are now
redundant.
v2:
* PATCH v1 6/6 dropped; if=scsi eccentricities will be addressed in a
series of its own
* PATCH 6-8 new
Markus Armbruster (8):
hw: Default -drive to if=ide explicitly where it works
hw/arm/cubieboard hw/arm/xlnx-ep108: Fix units_per_default_bus
hw: Default -drive to if=none instead of ide when ide cannot work
hw: Default -drive to if=none instead of scsi when scsi cannot work
hw/arm/highbank: Default -drive to if=ide instead of if=scsi
blockdev: Improve message for orphaned -drive
blockdev: Make orphaned -drive fatal
hw: Drop superfluous special checks for orphaned -drive
