scsi: add free_request callback
Most device models have a simple lifecycle for the hba_private field and they can free it when a request is completed or cancelled. However, in some cases it may be simpler to tie the lifetime of hba_private to that of the included SCSIRequest. This patch adds a free_request callback to SCSIBusInfo that lets an HBA device model do exactly that. Normally, device models use req->hba_private == NULL to flag requests that have been completed already. Device models that use free_request will still need to track this using a flag. This is the reason why "converting" existing HBAs to use free_request adds complexity and makes little sense. It is simply an additional convenience that is provided by the SCSI layer. USB-attached storage will be the first user. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
