So far there isn't way to test host kernel vhost-scsi event queue path, because VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG isn't supported by QEMU.
virtio-scsi.c and vhost-user-scsi.c already support VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG as property "hotplug". Add support to vhost-scsi.c to help evaluate and test event queue. To test the feature: 1. Create vhost-scsi target with targetcli. targetcli /backstores/fileio create name=storage file_or_dev=disk01.raw targetcli /vhost create naa.1123451234512345 targetcli /vhost/naa.1123451234512345/tpg1/luns create /backstores/fileio/storage 2. Create QEMU instance with vhost-scsi. -device vhost-scsi-pci,wwpn=naa.1123451234512345,hotplug=true 3. Once guest bootup, hotplug a new LUN from host. targetcli /backstores/fileio create name=storage02 file_or_dev=disk02.raw targetcli /vhost/naa.1123451234512345/tpg1/luns create /backstores/fileio/storage02 Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zh...@oracle.com> --- hw/scsi/vhost-scsi.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/hw/scsi/vhost-scsi.c b/hw/scsi/vhost-scsi.c index 8039d13fd9..d3a260f6a7 100644 --- a/hw/scsi/vhost-scsi.c +++ b/hw/scsi/vhost-scsi.c @@ -359,6 +359,9 @@ static const Property vhost_scsi_properties[] = { DEFINE_PROP_BIT64("t10_pi", VHostSCSICommon, host_features, VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI, false), + DEFINE_PROP_BIT64("hotplug", VHostSCSICommon, host_features, + VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG, + false), DEFINE_PROP_BOOL("migratable", VHostSCSICommon, migratable, false), DEFINE_PROP_BOOL("worker_per_virtqueue", VirtIOSCSICommon, conf.worker_per_virtqueue, false), -- 2.39.3
