[PATCH] sd: do not set changed flag on all unit attention conditions

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Jul 16 2012 - 12:06:22 EST


Right now, I/O will fail as soon as a unit attention condition is
detected on a unit with removable media. However, this is not
always necessary. There are some cases (such as "Capacity data
has changed") where no particular action is needed. On the
other hand, all problematic cases have to report at least one
of "No medium" and/or a "Medium may have changed", so restrict
our attention to those.

This patch fixes resizing a removable medium with virtio-scsi.
