The companion QEMU patches are available at
https://github.com/cohuck/qemu vfio-ccw-caps]

Currently, vfio-ccw only relays START SUBCHANNEL requests to the real
device. This tends to work well for the most common 'good path' scenarios;
however, as we emulate {HALT,CLEAR} SUBCHANNEL in QEMU, things like
clearing pending requests at the device is currently not supported.
This may be a problem for e.g. error recovery.

This patch series introduces capabilities (similar to what vfio-pci uses)
and exposes a new async region for handling hsch/csch.

Very lightly tested (I can interact with a dasd as before; I have not
found a reliable way to trigger hsch/csch in the Linux dasd guest driver.)


I was able to trigger the guest DASD driver to issue a csch instruction, and from my brief testing it seems to be working just like it would on the LPAR. (I basically tested with 2 threads trying to issue DASD device reserve and release ioctls, on the same DASD device, in a busy loop).

I am going to spend some time doing a deeper review.

Thanks
Farhan
