* vhost-user-scsi: Introduce a vhost-user-scsi sample applicationFelipe Franciosi2017-06-152-0/+887
This commit introduces a vhost-user-scsi backend sample application. It must be linked with libiscsi and libvhost-user. To use it, compile with: $ make vhost-user-scsi And run as follows: $ ./vhost-user-scsi -u vus.sock -i iscsi://uri_to_target/ $ qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 512 \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512m,share=on,mem-path=guestmem \ -numa node,memdev=mem \ -chardev socket,id=vhost-user-scsi,path=vus.sock \ -device vhost-user-scsi-pci,chardev=vhost-user-scsi \ The application is currently limited at one LUN only and it processes requests synchronously (therefore only achieving QD1). The purpose of the code is to show how a backend can be implemented and to test the vhost-user-scsi Qemu implementation. If a different instance of this vhost-user-scsi application is executed at a remote host, a VM can be live migrated to such a host.
