Subject: [PULL 1/6] qom: qom-list-get
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 19:25:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716172535.3520175-2-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716172535.3520175-1-armbru@redhat.com>
From: Steve Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com>
Using qom-list and qom-get to get all the nodes and property values in
a QOM tree can take multiple seconds because it requires 1000's of
individual QOM requests. Some managers fetch the entire tree or a
large subset of it when starting a new VM, and this cost is a
substantial fraction of start up time.
Define the qom-list-get command, which fetches all the properties and
values for a list of paths. This can be much faster than qom-list
plus qom-get. When getting an entire QOM tree, I measured a 10x
speedup in elapsed time.
