[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] blockdev: Fix 'change' for slot devices

[Max Reitz]

The series "BlockBackend and media" intended all block devices with
removable media to implement a tray model; if the devices does not have
a tray, it should emulate one.

While this may make sense from a technical perspective (blockdev-*-tray
are guest device controlling operations, invoking
blk_dev_change_media_cb(); blockdev-*-medium are operations concerning
the block layer, controlling the BB-BDS link), it is (probably)
unintuitive to users, and it requires said implementation of an emulated
tray for each of the slot devices (floppy disk drives and SD card
readers).

We can get rid of those virtual trays by special-casing tray-less
devices in blockdev-*-tray (those operations are no-ops there) and in
blockdev-*-medium (those operations then have to invoke
blk_dev_change_media_cb()). With this change, changing the medium
inserted into a slot device will no longer emit TRAY_MOVED events (which
seems like a bugfix to me, because slot devices actually do not have
trays).


Patches 1 and 2 are CC'd to qemu-stable because they fix 'change' for SD
card readers. Patch 3 does not fix it for floppy disk drives, it just
changes the behavior when used on them (no TRAY_MOVED events, no
tray_open status, and blockdev-{open,close}-tray are optional), which is
why it is not CC'd to qemu-stable; and patch 4 is more of a change in
behavior than a stable-worthy fix.
