Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] qapi: last minute improvements/changes to -compat insecure-types
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 14:17:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030141713.2841710-1-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
This addresses various points raised by Markus about the current
impl/design, that would need to be addressed before this is
included in the release.
NB, the 'warn' option will repeatedly warn on every violation
which can be somewhat unpleasant. Figuring out a mechanism to
make it a one-time warning is an exercise for the future, given
limited time before release.
Changed in v2:
* Expand docs to state 'warn' occurs repeatedly
* Various docs rephrasing changes
* Add error hint for security check
Daniel P. Berrangé (8):
qapi: make 'CompatPolicy' the first arg in compat_policy_input_ok
qapi: add 'warn' option to CompatPolicyInput
qapi: rename 'insecure-types' to 'insecure-input'
qapi: drop CompatPolicySecurity and use CompatPolicyInput
qapi: rename compat_policy_check_security method
qapi: reverse arg order in compat_policy_security_ok
qemu-options: document -compat insecure-input parameter
qapi: print a message before aborting for -compat violations
