[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] 9pfs: handle transport errors

[Greg Kurz]

The 9p protocol relies on a reliable transport, but the current code
treats transport errors (ie, failure to marshal or unmarshal) as if
they were coming from the backend. This doesn't make sense: if the
transport failed, we should notify the guest that the transport is
broken and needs to be reset, using transport specific means.

This series modifies the existing virtio-9p transport so that it can
notify the guest about transport failures. The core 9p code is modified
as well so that it stops handling requests when the transport fails.

Greg Kurz (5):
      virtio: Error object based virtio_error()
      virtio-9p: factor out virtio_9p_error_err()
      fsdev: don't allow unknown format in marshal/unmarshal
      9pfs: drop pdu_push_and_notify()
      9pfs: handle broken transport
