Unfortunately I discovered that VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID is not in the VIRTIO
specs, so, just for curiosity, I checked the QEMU code and I found this:
case VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID:
{
/*
* NB: per existing s/n string convention the string is
* terminated by '\0' only when shorter than buffer.
*/
const char *serial = s->conf.serial ? s->conf.serial : "";
size_t size = MIN(strlen(serial) + 1,
MIN(iov_size(in_iov, in_num),
VIRTIO_BLK_ID_BYTES));
iov_from_buf(in_iov, in_num, 0, serial, size);
virtio_blk_req_complete(req, VIRTIO_BLK_S_OK);
virtio_blk_free_request(req);
break;
}
It seems that the device emulation in QEMU expects that the driver
terminates the serial string buffer.
Do you know why VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID is not in the specs?
Should we add it?
Thanks,
Stefano
