+
+Virtio is being used to communicate with those remote processors;

+and non-empty buffers, containing outbound messages, are enqueued
+in a second virtqueue for transmission.

+Appendix I: SCSI Host Device
+
+The virtio SCSI host device groups together one or more virtual
+logical units (such as disks), and allows communicating to them
+using the SCSI protocol. An instance of the device represents a
+SCSI host to which many targets and LUNs are attached.
+
+The virtio SCSI device services two kinds of requests:
+
+  command requests for a logical unit;
+
+  task management functions related to a logical unit, target or
+  command.
+
+The device is also able to send out notifications about added and
+removed logical units. Together, these capabilities provide a
+SCSI transport protocol that uses virtqueues as the transfer
+medium. In the transport protocol, the virtio driver acts as the
+initiator, while the virtio SCSI host provides one or more
+targets that receive and process the requests.

+  num_queues is the total number of request virtqueues exposed by

+
+  seg_max is the maximum number of segments that can be in a

+    segments and seg_max output segments.
+
+  max_sectors is a hint to the guest about the maximum transfer
+    size it should use.
+
+  cmd_per_lun is a hint to the guest about the maximum number of
+    linked commands it should send to one LUN. The actual value
+    to be used is the minimum of cmd_per_lun and the virtqueue
+    size.
+
+  event_info_size is the maximum size that the device will fill
+    for buffers that the driver places in the eventq. The driver
+    should always put buffers at least of this size. It is

+

+
+The lun field addresses a target and logical unit in the
+virtio-scsi device's SCSI domain. The only supported format for
+the LUN field is: first byte set to 1, second byte set to target,
+third and fourth byte representing a single level LUN structure,
+followed by four zero bytes. With this representation, a
+virtio-scsi device can serve up to 256 targets and 16384 LUNs per
+target.
+
+The id field is the command identifier (“tag”).
+
+task_attr, prio and crn should be left to zero. task_attr defines
+the task attribute as in the table above, but all task attributes
+may be mapped to SIMPLE by the device; crn may also be provided
+by clients, but is generally expected to be 0. The maximum CRN
+value defined by the protocol is 255, since CRN is stored in an
+8-bit integer.
+
+All of these fields are defined in SAM. They are always
+read-only, as are the cdb and dataout field. The cdb_size is
+taken from the configuration space.
+
+sense and subsequent fields are always write-only. The sense_len
+field indicates the number of bytes actually written to the sense
+buffer. The residual field indicates the residual size,
+calculated as “data_length - number_of_transferred_bytes”, for
+read or write operations. For bidirectional commands, the
+number_of_transferred_bytes includes both read and written bytes.
+A residual field that is less than the size of datain means that
+the dataout field was processed entirely. A residual field that
+exceeds the size of datain means that the dataout field was
+processed partially and the datain field was not processed at
+all.
+
+The status byte is written by the device to be the status code as
+defined in SAM.
+
+The response byte is written by the device to be one of the
+following:
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_OK when the request was completed and the status
+  byte is filled with a SCSI status code (not necessarily
+  "GOOD").
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_OVERRUN if the content of the CDB requires
+  transferring more data than is available in the data buffers.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_ABORTED if the request was cancelled due to an
+  ABORT TASK or ABORT TASK SET task management function.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BAD_TARGET if the request was never processed
+  because the target indicated by the lun field does not exist.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_RESET if the request was cancelled due to a bus
+  or device reset (including a task management function).
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_TRANSPORT_FAILURE if the request failed due to a
+  problem in the connection between the host and the target
+  (severed link).
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_TARGET_FAILURE if the target is suffering a
+  failure and the guest should not retry on other paths.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_NEXUS_FAILURE if the nexus is suffering a failure
+  but retrying on other paths might yield a different result.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BUSY if the request failed but retrying on the
+  same path should work.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_FAILURE for other host or guest error. In
+  particular, if neither dataout nor datain is empty, and the
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_F_INOUT feature has not been negotiated, the
+  request will be immediately returned with a response equal to
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_S_FAILURE.
+
+  Device Operation: controlq
+
+The controlq is used for other SCSI transport operations.

+
+  The type is VIRTIO_SCSI_T_TMF; the subtype field defines. All
+  fields except response are filled by the driver. The subtype
+  field must always be specified and identifies the requested
+  task management function.
+
+  Other fields may be irrelevant for the requested TMF; if so,
+  they are ignored but they should still be present. The lun
+  field is in the same format specified for request queues; the
+  single level LUN is ignored when the task management function
+  addresses a whole I_T nexus. When relevant, the value of the id
+  field is matched against the id values passed on the requestq.
+
+  The outcome of the task management function is written by the
+  device in the response field. The command-specific response
+  values map 1-to-1 with those defined in SAM.

+
+  By sending this command, the driver asks the device which
+  events the given LUN can report, as described in paragraphs 6.6
+  and A.6 of the SCSI MMC specification. The driver writes the
+  events it is interested in into the event_requested; the device
+  responds by writing the events that it supports into
+  event_actual.
+
+  The type is VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_QUERY. The lun and event_requested
+  fields are written by the driver. The event_actual and response
+  fields are written by the device.
+
+  No command-specific values are defined for the response byte.
+
+  Asynchronous notification subscription
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_SUBSCRIBE                2
+
+
+
+struct virtio_scsi_ctrl_an {

+    // Read-only part
+

+    u8  lun[8];

+    u32 event_requested;
+
+    // Write-only part
+
+    u32 event_actual;
+
+    u8  response;
+
+}
+
+  By sending this command, the driver asks the specified LUN to
+  report events for its physical interface, again as described in
+  the SCSI MMC specification. The driver writes the events it is
+  interested in into the event_requested; the device responds by
+  writing the events that it supports into event_actual.
+
+  Event types are the same as for the asynchronous notification
+  query message.
+
+  The type is VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_SUBSCRIBE. The lun and
+  event_requested fields are written by the driver. The
+  event_actual and response fields are written by the device.
+
+  No command-specific values are defined for the response byte.
+
+  Device Operation: eventq
+
+The eventq is used by the device to report information on logical
+units that are attached to it. The driver should always leave a
+few buffers ready in the eventq. In general, the device will not
+queue events to cope with an empty eventq, and will end up
+dropping events if it finds no buffer ready. However, when
+reporting events for many LUNs (e.g. when a whole target
+disappears), the device can throttle events to avoid dropping
+them. For this reason, placing 10-15 buffers on the event queue
+should be enough.
+
+Buffers are placed in the eventq and filled by the device when
+interesting events occur. The buffers should be strictly
+write-only (device-filled) and the size of the buffers should be
+at least the value given in the device's configuration
+information.
+
+Buffers returned by the device on the eventq will be referred to
+as "events" in the rest of this section. Events have the
+following format:
+
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_T_EVENTS_MISSED   0x80000000
+
+
+
+struct virtio_scsi_event {
+
+    // Write-only part
+
+    u32 event;
+
+    ...
+
+}
+
+If bit 31 is set in the event field, the device failed to report
+an event due to missing buffers. In this case, the driver should
+poll the logical units for unit attention conditions, and/or do
+whatever form of bus scan is appropriate for the guest operating
+system.
+
+Other data that the device writes to the buffer depends on the
+contents of the event field. The following events are defined:
+
+  No event
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_T_NO_EVENT         0
+
+  This event is fired in the following cases:
+
+  When the device detects in the eventq a buffer that is shorter
+    than what is indicated in the configuration field, it might
+    use it immediately and put this dummy value in the event
+    field. A well-written driver will never observe this
+    situation.
+
+  When events are dropped, the device may signal this event as
+    soon as the drivers makes a buffer available, in order to
+    request action from the driver. In this case, of course, this
+    event will be reported with the VIRTIO_SCSI_T_EVENTS_MISSED
+    flag.
+
+  Transport reset
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_T_TRANSPORT_RESET  1
+
+
+
+struct virtio_scsi_event_reset {
+
+    // Write-only part
+
+    u32 event;
+
+    u8  lun[8];
+
+    u32 reason;
+
+}
+
+
+
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_HARD         0
+
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_RESCAN       1
+
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED      2
+
+  By sending this event, the device signals that a logical unit
+  on a target has been reset, including the case of a new device
+  appearing or disappearing on the bus.The device fills in all
+  fields. The event field is set to
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_T_TRANSPORT_RESET. The lun field addresses a
+  logical unit in the SCSI host.
+
+  The reason value is one of the three #define values appearing
+  above:
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED (“LUN/target removed”) is used if
+    the target or logical unit is no longer able to receive
+    commands.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_HARD (“LUN hard reset”) is used if the
+    logical unit has been reset, but is still present.
+
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_RESCAN (“rescan LUN/target”) is used if a
+    target or logical unit has just appeared on the device.
+
+  The “removed” and “rescan” events, when sent for LUN 0, may
+  apply to the entire target. After receiving them the driver
+  should ask the initiator to rescan the target, in order to
+  detect the case when an entire target has appeared or
+  disappeared. These two events will never be reported unless the
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG feature was negotiated between the host
+  and the guest.
+
+  Events will also be reported via sense codes (this obviously
+  does not apply to newly appeared buses or targets, since the
+  application has never discovered them):
+
+  “LUN/target removed” maps to sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST, asc
+    0x25, ascq 0x00 (LOGICAL UNIT NOT SUPPORTED)
+
+  “LUN hard reset” maps to sense key UNIT ATTENTION, asc 0x29
+    (POWER ON, RESET OR BUS DEVICE RESET OCCURRED)
+
+  “rescan LUN/target” maps to sense key UNIT ATTENTION, asc 0x3f,
+    ascq 0x0e (REPORTED LUNS DATA HAS CHANGED)
+
+  The preferred way to detect transport reset is always to use
+  events, because sense codes are only seen by the driver when it
+  sends a SCSI command to the logical unit or target. However, in
+  case events are dropped, the initiator will still be able to
+  synchronize with the actual state of the controller if the
+  driver asks the initiator to rescan of the SCSI bus. During the
+  rescan, the initiator will be able to observe the above sense
+  codes, and it will process them as if it the driver had
+  received the equivalent event.
+
+  Asynchronous notification
+#define VIRTIO_SCSI_T_ASYNC_NOTIFY     2
+
+
+
+struct virtio_scsi_event_an {
+
+    // Write-only part
+
+    u32 event;
+
+    u8  lun[8];
+
+    u32 reason;
+
+}
+
+  By sending this event, the device signals that an asynchronous
+  event was fired from a physical interface.
+
+  All fields are written by the device. The event field is set to
+  VIRTIO_SCSI_T_ASYNC_NOTIFY. The lun field addresses a logical
+  unit in the SCSI host. The reason field is a subset of the
+  events that the driver has subscribed to via the "Asynchronous
+  notification subscription" command.
+
+  When dropped events are reported, the driver should poll for
+  asynchronous events manually using SCSI commands.
+
+Appendix X: virtio-mmio
+
+Virtual environments without PCI support (a common situation in
+embedded devices models) might use simple memory mapped device (“
+virtio-mmio”) instead of the PCI device.
+
+The memory mapped virtio device behaviour is based on the PCI
+device specification. Therefore most of operations like device
+initialization, queues configuration and buffer transfers are
+nearly identical. Existing differences are described in the
+following sections.
+
+  Device Initialization
+
+Instead of using the PCI IO space for virtio header, the “
+virtio-mmio” device provides a set of memory mapped control
+registers, all 32 bits wide, followed by device-specific
+configuration space. The following list presents their layout:
+
+  Offset from the device base address | Direction | Name
+ Description
+
+  0x000 | R | MagicValue
+ “virt” string.
+
+  0x004 | R | Version
+ Device version number. Currently must be 1.
+
+  0x008 | R | DeviceID
+ Virtio Subsystem Device ID (ie. 1 for network card).
+
+  0x00c | R | VendorID
+ Virtio Subsystem Vendor ID.
+
+  0x010 | R | HostFeatures
+ Flags representing features the device supports.
+ Reading from this register returns 32 consecutive flag bits,
+  first bit depending on the last value written to
+  HostFeaturesSel register. Access to this register returns bits HostFeaturesSel*32
+
+   to (HostFeaturesSel*32)+31
+, eg. feature bits 0 to 31 if
+  HostFeaturesSel is set to 0 and features bits 32 to 63 if
+  HostFeaturesSel is set to 1. Also see [sub:Feature-Bits]
+
+  0x014 | W | HostFeaturesSel
+ Device (Host) features word selection.
+ Writing to this register selects a set of 32 device feature bits
+  accessible by reading from HostFeatures register. Device driver
+  must write a value to the HostFeaturesSel register before
+  reading from the HostFeatures register.
+
+  0x020 | W | GuestFeatures
+ Flags representing device features understood and activated by
+  the driver.
+ Writing to this register sets 32 consecutive flag bits, first
+  bit depending on the last value written to GuestFeaturesSel
+  register. Access to this register sets bits GuestFeaturesSel*32
+
+   to (GuestFeaturesSel*32)+31
+, eg. feature bits 0 to 31 if
+  GuestFeaturesSel is set to 0 and features bits 32 to 63 if
+  GuestFeaturesSel is set to 1. Also see [sub:Feature-Bits]
+
+  0x024 | W | GuestFeaturesSel
+ Activated (Guest) features word selection.
+ Writing to this register selects a set of 32 activated feature
+  bits accessible by writing to the GuestFeatures register.
+  Device driver must write a value to the GuestFeaturesSel
+  register before writing to the GuestFeatures register.
+
+  0x028 | W | GuestPageSize
+ Guest page size.
+ Device driver must write the guest page size in bytes to the
+  register during initialization, before any queues are used.
+  This value must be a power of 2 and is used by the Host to
+  calculate Guest address of the first queue page (see QueuePFN).
+
+  0x030 | W | QueueSel
+ Virtual queue index (first queue is 0).
+ Writing to this register selects the virtual queue that the
+  following operations on QueueNum, QueueAlign and QueuePFN apply
+  to.
+
+  0x034 | R | QueueNumMax
+ Maximum virtual queue size.
+ Reading from the register returns the maximum size of the queue
+  the Host is ready to process or zero (0x0) if the queue is not
+  available. This applies to the queue selected by writing to
+  QueueSel and is allowed only when QueuePFN is set to zero
+  (0x0), so when the queue is not actively used.
+
+  0x038 | W | QueueNum
+ Virtual queue size.
+ Queue size is a number of elements in the queue, therefore size
+  of the descriptor table and both available and used rings.
+ Writing to this register notifies the Host what size of the
+  queue the Guest will use. This applies to the queue selected by
+  writing to QueueSel.
+
+  0x03c | W | QueueAlign
+ Used Ring alignment in the virtual queue.
+ Writing to this register notifies the Host about alignment
+  boundary of the Used Ring in bytes. This value must be a power
+  of 2 and applies to the queue selected by writing to QueueSel.
+
+  0x040 | RW | QueuePFN
+ Guest physical page number of the virtual queue.
+ Writing to this register notifies the host about location of the
+  virtual queue in the Guest's physical address space. This value
+  is the index number of a page starting with the queue
+  Descriptor Table. Value zero (0x0) means physical address zero
+  (0x00000000) and is illegal. When the Guest stops using the
+  queue it must write zero (0x0) to this register.
+ Reading from this register returns the currently used page
+  number of the queue, therefore a value other than zero (0x0)
+  means that the queue is in use.
+ Both read and write accesses apply to the queue selected by
+  writing to QueueSel.
+
+  0x050 | W | QueueNotify
+ Queue notifier.
+ Writing a queue index to this register notifies the Host that
+  there are new buffers to process in the queue.
+
+  0x60 | R | InterruptStatus
+Interrupt status.
+Reading from this register returns a bit mask of interrupts
+  asserted by the device. An interrupt is asserted if the
+  corresponding bit is set, ie. equals one (1).
+
+  Bit 0 | Used Ring Update
+This interrupt is asserted when the Host has updated the Used
+    Ring in at least one of the active virtual queues.
+
+  Bit 1 | Configuration change
+This interrupt is asserted when configuration of the device has
+    changed.
+
+  0x064 | W | InterruptACK
+ Interrupt acknowledge.
+ Writing to this register notifies the Host that the Guest
+  finished handling interrupts. Set bits in the value clear the
+  corresponding bits of the InterruptStatus register.
+
+  0x070 | RW | Status
+ Device status.
+ Reading from this register returns the current device status
+  flags.
+ Writing non-zero values to this register sets the status flags,
+  indicating the Guest progress. Writing zero (0x0) to this
+  register triggers a device reset.
+ Also see [sub:Device-Initialization-Sequence]
+
+  0x100+ | RW | Config
+ Device-specific configuration space starts at an offset 0x100
+  and is accessed with byte alignment. Its meaning and size
+  depends on the device and the driver.
+
+Virtual queue size is a number of elements in the queue,
+therefore size of the descriptor table and both available and
+used rings.
+
+The endianness of the registers follows the native endianness of
+the Guest. Writing to registers described as “R” and reading from
+registers described as “W” is not permitted and can cause
+undefined behavior.
+
+The device initialization is performed as described in [sub:Device-Initialization-Sequence]
+ with one exception: the Guest must notify the Host about its
+page size, writing the size in bytes to GuestPageSize register
+before the initialization is finished.
+
+The memory mapped virtio devices generate single interrupt only,
+therefore no special configuration is required.
+
+  Virtqueue Configuration
+
+The virtual queue configuration is performed in a similar way to
+the one described in [sec:Virtqueue-Configuration] with a few
+additional operations:
+
+  Select the queue writing its index (first queue is 0) to the
+  QueueSel register.
+
+  Check if the queue is not already in use: read QueuePFN
+  register, returned value should be zero (0x0).
+
+  Read maximum queue size (number of elements) from the
+  QueueNumMax register. If the returned value is zero (0x0) the
+  queue is not available.
+
+  Allocate and zero the queue pages in contiguous virtual memory,
+  aligning the Used Ring to an optimal boundary (usually page
+  size). Size of the allocated queue may be smaller than or equal
+  to the maximum size returned by the Host.
+
+  Notify the Host about the queue size by writing the size to
+  QueueNum register.
+
+  Notify the Host about the used alignment by writing its value
+  in bytes to QueueAlign register.
+
+  Write the physical number of the first page of the queue to the
+  QueuePFN register.
+
+The queue and the device are ready to begin normal operations
+now.
+
+  Device Operation
+
+The memory mapped virtio device behaves in the same way as
+described in [sec:Device-Operation], with the following
+exceptions:
+
+  The device is notified about new buffers available in a queue
+  by writing the queue index to register QueueNum instead of the
+  virtio header in PCI I/O space ([sub:Notifying-The-Device]).
+
+  The memory mapped virtio device is using single, dedicated
+  interrupt signal, which is raised when at least one of the
+  interrupts described in the InterruptStatus register
+  description is asserted. After receiving an interrupt, the
+  driver must read the InterruptStatus register to check what
+  caused the interrupt (see the register description). After the
+  interrupt is handled, the driver must acknowledge it by writing
+  a bit mask corresponding to the serviced interrupt to the
