This allows namespace-level hot-swap without removing\nthe NVMe controller.\n\nPatch 2 adds a drive_insert HMP command that reconnects a host block\ndevice file to an existing guest device after drive_del. This is the\ncounterpart to drive_del for non-removable devices where\nblockdev-change-medium cannot be used.\n\nThe recommended hot-swap sequence is:\n 1. drive_del # disconnect backing store\n 2. drive_insert # reconnect backing store\n 3. pcie_aer_inject_error SDN # trigger controller reset\n\nAfter this sequence, the guest sees the same controller and namespace\nnames (e.g. /dev/nvme2n1 remains /dev/nvme2n1), and the NVMe driver\nrecovers transparently via the standard AER recovery path.\n\nTested with:\n- Linux 6.1 guest on QEMU aarch64 with HVF (macOS)\n- NVMe subsystem model with multipath disabled\n- DirectPV and MinIO AIStor storage stack\n\nmr-083 (2):\n hw/nvme: add namespace hotplug support\n block/monitor: add drive_insert HMP command\n\n block/monitor/block-hmp-cmds.c | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++\n hmp-commands.hx | 18 +++++++\n hw/nvme/ctrl.c | 85 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n hw/nvme/ns.c | 1 +\n hw/nvme/subsys.c | 2 +\n include/block/block-hmp-cmds.h | 1 +\n 6 files changed, 166 insertions(+)\n\n--\n2.50.1 (Apple Git-155)"}
