The tricky bit is that this has to happen at the device layer because the opaques cannot be saved in a meaningful way.


Do you mean the device has to record all cancelled requests and replay them? I think we can do it at the block layer (though we have to avoid it for nested requests).

In order to complete the requests, you have to call a callback and pass an opaque with the results. The callback/opaque cannot be saved in the block layer in a meaningful way.


You're right, of course. I guess we'll have to cancel any near term cancellation plans.

We could change the opaque to be something pre-registered (e.g. the device state object, which we don't need to save/restore) and pass in addition an integer request tag. These would be migratable. The device would be responsible for saving tags and their associated information (perhaps through a common API).
