Hi, I tested the hot unplug patch and doesn't seem to work properly with Debian 6 and Ubuntu host.
Scenario: I added 3 dimm devices of 1G each: object_add memory-ram,id=ram0,size=1G, device_add dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=ram0 object_add memory-ram,id=ram1,size=1G, device_add dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=ram1 object_add memory-ram,id=ram2,size=1G, device_add dimm,id=dimm3,memdev=ram2 device_del dimm3: I get the OST EVENT EJECT 0x3 and OST STATUS as 0x84(IN PROGRESS) If I check on the guest, the device has been successfully removed. But no OST EJECT SUCCESS event was received. device_del dimm2: I get OST EVENT EJECT 0x3, OST STATUS 0x84 (IN PROGRESS). Then 2nd time OST EVENT EJECT 0x3, OST STATUS 0x1 (FAILURE) . Device is not removed from the guest. device_del dimm1: I get OST EVENT EJECT 0x3, OST STATUS 0x84 (IN PROGRESS). Then 2nd OST EVENT EJECT 0x3, OST STATUS 0x1(FAILURE) . Device is not removed from the guest. Thus it mean that if for the first time device removal fails with status indicating in progress, then one more attempt will be made to remove the device. If the attempts succeeds then no success OST event will be conveyed else OST event FAILURE will be sent. Can we be always sure of that OST_FAILURE event will be sent in case of failure. Please can you share your thoughts here.
