I was wrong, the current code is correct:
void sdbus_reparent_card(SDBus *from, SDBus *to)
{
SDState *card = get_card(from);
SDCardClass *sc;
bool readonly;
/* We directly reparent the card object rather than implementing this
* as a hotpluggable connection because we don't want to expose SD cards
* to users as being hotpluggable, and we can get away with it in this
* limited use case. This could perhaps be implemented more cleanly in
* future by adding support to the hotplug infrastructure for "device
* can be hotplugged only via code, not by user".
*/
if (!card) {
return;
}
sc = SD_CARD_GET_CLASS(card);
readonly = sc->get_readonly(card);
sdbus_set_inserted(from, false);
qdev_set_parent_bus(DEVICE(card), &to->qbus);
sdbus_set_inserted(to, true);
sdbus_set_readonly(to, readonly);
}
What I don't understand is why create a sdcard with no block backend.
Maybe this is old code before the null-co block backend existed? I
haven't checked the git history yet.
I'll try to restrict sdcard with only block backend and see if
something break (I doubt) at least it simplifies the code.
But I need to update the Aspeed machines first.
The problem when not using block backend, is the size is 0,
so the next patch abort in sd_reset() due to:
static uint64_t sd_addr_to_wpnum(SDState *sd, uint64_t addr)
{
assert(addr < sd->size);
