[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] some virtio-scsi tracing

[Laszlo Ersek]

Recently we had to track down a (remote) problem with virtio-scsi tape
passthrough. Paolo asked me if I could turn my ad-hoc debug printf()s
into trace events.

I tested the series in the following way:
- enabled the two "processing hungry" events in "trace-events",
- built & installed qemu,
- using libvirt, started a guest with a passthru USB flash drive,
- logged in to the guest,
- on the host, enabled all virtio_scsi_* events using "virsh
  qemu-monitor-command",
- in the guest:
  - mounted the disk,
  - listed the directory tree,
  - unmounted the disk,
- on the host, physically disconnected the flash drive.

I'm attaching the trace output (stderr backend, saved by libvirt); you
should be able to pair segments of the file with the above actions.
