[PATCHv4 00/15] boot order specification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is current state of the patch series for people to comment on.
I am using open firmware naming scheme to specify device path names.
In this submission I addressed all comment from previous one and added
option rom support and rebased to qemu upstream.

Kevin can you double check that the names are usable by Seabios? Reading
PC boot specification it looks like Seabios will not be able to take
full advantage of this though. Only one BCV can be bootable, so only disk
with lowest boot index will be bootable by Seabios. Is this correct? 

Names look like this on pci machine:
/pci@i0cf8/ide@1,1/drive@1/disk@0
/pci@i0cf8/isa@1/fdc@03f1/floppy@1
/pci@i0cf8/isa@1/fdc@03f1/floppy@0
/pci@i0cf8/ide@1,1/drive@1/disk@1
/pci@i0cf8/ide@1,1/drive@0/disk@0
/pci@i0cf8/scsi@3/disk@0
/pci@i0cf8/ethernet@4/ethernet-phy@0
/pci@i0cf8/ethernet@5/ethernet-phy@0
/pci@i0cf8/ide@1,1/drive@0/disk@1
/pci@i0cf8/isa@1/ide@01e8/drive@0/disk@0
/pci@i0cf8/usb@1,2/network@0/ethernet@0
/pci@i0cf8/usb@1,2/hub@1/network@0/ethernet@0
/rom@genroms/linuxboot.bin

and on isa machine:
/isa/ide@0170/drive@0/disk@0
/isa/fdc@03f1/floppy@1
/isa/fdc@03f1/floppy@0
/isa/ide@0170/drive@0/disk@1


Instead of using get_dev_path() callback I introduces another one
get_fw_dev_path. Unfortunately the way get_dev_path() callback is used
in migration code makes it hard to reuse it for other purposes. First
of all it is not called recursively so caller expects it to provide
unique name by itself. Device path though is inherently recursive. Each
individual element may not be unique, but the whole path will be. On
the other hand to call get_dev_path() recursively in migration code we
should implement it for all possible buses first. Other problem is
compatibility. If we change get_dev_path() output format now we will not
be able to migrate from old qemu to new one without some additional
compatibility layer.

Gleb Natapov (15):
  Introduce fw_name field to DeviceInfo structure.
  Introduce new BusInfo callback get_fw_dev_path.
  Keep track of ISA ports ISA device is using in qdev.
  Add get_fw_dev_path callback to ISA bus in qdev.
  Store IDE bus id in IDEBus structure for easy access.
  Add get_fw_dev_path callback to IDE bus.
  Add get_dev_path callback for system bus.
  Add get_fw_dev_path callback for pci bus.
  Record which USBDevice USBPort belongs too.
  Add get_dev_path callback for usb bus.
  Add bootindex parameter to net/block/fd device
  Change fw_cfg_add_file() to get full file path as a parameter.
  Add bootindex for option roms.
  Add notifier that will be called when machine is fully created.
  Pass boot device list to firmware.
