block: Fix virtual media change for if=none
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed. It is set when the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY. The type hint is only set by drive_init(). It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY for if=floppy. It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide, scsi, xen, or none. if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM. if=xen likewise, I think. For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or scsi-disk. For other guest devices, there are problems: * fdc: you can't change virtual media $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) eject foo Device 'foo' is not removable unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly. * virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. If you eject, the guest gets I/O errors. If you change, the guest sees the drive's contents suddenly change. * scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device, but it can't be pretty. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
