[V2V PATCH v3 0/6] Bring support for virtio-scsi back to Windows
by Andrey Drobyshev
Discussion on v2:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/030987.html
v2 -> v3:
* Patch 2/6 ("convert_windows: add Inject_virtio_win.Virtio_SCSI as a
possible block type"): omit "Inject_virtio_win." prefix in favor of type
inference. Add a short commit message body;
* Add tests/test-v2v-block-driver.sh testing the new "--block-driver"
option.

https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-February/030849.html
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/030917.html
v1 -> v2:
* Adapt the patch suggested by Richard, splitting it up into 3:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/030975.html
Now we have "--block-driver" command line option which regulates the
order in which block drivers are being searched for (and, as a
consequence, the default driver).

[libguestfs-common PATCH 0/2] detect_kernels: deal with RHEL's kernel-core / kernel-modules-core split
by Laszlo Ersek
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2175703
Vera Wu's testing covered a backport of this series to the virt-v2v
project's rhel-9.2 branch (on top of commit 86517b17be98), where the
"detect_kernels" function is still unique/internal to the virt-v2v
project. The backport / cherry-pick from libguestfs-common to virt-v2v
cannot be automated, but it's not difficult; only file names in the
patch files change.
The first patch is split out only in order not to muddy the second
patch; the second patch requires some eyeballing anyway, so keeping it
focused is good.

And the timings bear proof that it matters.

nbdkit and libnbd do this with the MSG_MORE flag (plaintext) and TLS
corking (tls); when building up a message to the other side, a flag is
set any time we know we are likely to send more data very shortly.
nbdkit wraps it under a flag SEND_MORE, which applies to both plaintext:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/blob/master/server/connections.c#L415
and to TLS connections:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/blob/master/server/crypto.c#L396
while libnbd uses MSG_MORE a bit more directly for the same purpose
for plaintext, but isn't (yet) doing TLS corking:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/blob/master/generator/states-issue-com...
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/blob/master/lib/internal.h#L57
I would love to see a future patch to qio_channel code to support
MSG_MORE in the same way as nbdkit is using its SEND_MORE flag, as the
caller often has more info on whether it is sending a short prefix or
is done with a conceptual message and ready to uncork, and where the
use of a flag can be more efficient than separate passes through
cork/uncork calls. But even your initial work at properly corking is
a good step in the right direction.
And surprisingly, qemu IS using corking on the client side:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/block/nbd.c#L525
just not on the server side, before your patch.
