I still don't like the proposed XML. We need to get consensus on where to put it, with my proposal being:
<filesystem type='mount'> <driver type='path' write='immediate'/> <source dir='/export/to/guest'/> <target dir='mount_tag'/> </filesystem>
Currrently, the way its implemented in qemu's hw/9pfs is that the writeout is not driver specific. Its a global flag at the v9fs level i.e. V9FS_IMMEDIATE_WRITEOUT. 9pfs maps to 'mount' filesystem type in libvirt, hence i put it as part of the filesystem attribute.
Hi Eric, I saw your response to my v1 patch (should have seen before) and i think I am convinced that it makes more sense to have this as part of the <driver ... element. Regarding the attribute name, will it be more appropriate to have writeback='immediate' ? Once we have consensus, i will post v3 patch. Thanks - Deepak
