static int
qemuDomainDetachVirtioDiskDevice(virQEMUDriverPtr driver,
virDomainObjPtr vm,
virDomainDiskDefPtr detach)
{
.......
rc = qemuDomainWaitForDeviceRemoval(vm);
if (rc == 0 || rc == 1)
ret = qemuDomainRemoveDiskDevice(driver, vm, detach);
else
ret = 0; /*the return value of 2 is dismissed here, which refers to ETIMEOUT.*/
........
}
------------------------------------
If it timeouts when qemu tries to del the device, the return value would be modified from
2 to 0 in
function qemuDomainDetachVirtioDiskDevice(), which means that, the users would be
misleaded that
the device has been deleted, however, the device maybe probably failed to be detached
after timeout and
still in use.
That is to say, the function qemuDomainDetachVirtioDiskDevice()'s return value is
ambiguous when it's 0,
maybe successful, or timeout. Will it be better to pass ETIMEOUT to user? or any other
advises? for example,
let users themselves dumpxml the guest to check whether the device has been actually
detached or not?
