[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] QMP: Introduce commands documentation

[Luiz Capitulino]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its
supported commands documentation.

The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however
self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a
long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done.

In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier,
this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes
all QMP supported commands.

This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain,
text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at
least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits
are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to
generate a single text file from them.

+                        ----------------------
+
+This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
+
+Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
+means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
+QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
+
+QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
+usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
+return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
+
+It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
+a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
+protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
+
+Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
+
+-> data issued by the Client
+<- Server data response
+
+Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
+information on the Server command and response formats.
+
+NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
+
+1. Regular Commands
+===================
+
+Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please

I didn't see documentation on the errors that a command can encounter.
 Error documentation would be useful for commands where the client
needs to react by trying an alternative command.  If errors are opaque
or undocumented, then the client can't perform error recovery, they
can only log the error or prompt the user for help.

For removable media is there a way to use, for instance, sheepdog, or
is the target strictly a file name?

Can the VNC password be removed when arg is the empty string or arg is
not present?

I believe this is the per-monitor default cpu for memory dumping and
other per-cpu commands.  The concept of the default cpu makes sense
for an interactive monitor, humans don't want to type the cpu index
for each cpu-specific command.  For QMP it feels cleaner to have a cpu
argument for commands that are per-cpu.  As a newcomer I'm not sure of
the philosophy for QMP commands, 1:1 with monitor commands or as
appropriate for a JSON interface?

If the QMP cpu command is supported in a QEMU release, can it be
phased out later?

Will look more later.

Makes some sense.

I've a simple patch in my queue that can be used to assign different
arguments for QMP and HMP use. So we could add a 'cpu' argument to all
those QMP commands that so far rely on the above mechanism.

Better avoid it being rolled out.

That said, first let us merge this documentation as baseline, then fix
such things (including error documentation) on top of it.

 After 0.13 no incompatible protocol change will be allowed.

 Exactly, the goal now is to describe the current protocol state.

I agree.  All of the per-monitor CPU stuff needs to be eliminated before 
0.13 in QMP.

 The immediate need is to have something which is minimally useful,
we're going to describe errors later.

 Actually, ultimate goal is to have self-description support, which should
describe everything (commands, arguments, errors, async messages, etc). But
I'm wondering whether we're going to have this on time for 0.13.

 Good question, hey, aren't you a block layer guy? :)

 Anyway, this command has the same behavior of HMP's change command.

> Can the VNC password be removed when arg is the empty string or arg is
> not present?

 Yes, when arg is the empty string the password seems to be removed, which
is an ill behavior.

 Anyway, the plan is to drop this command from QMP and introduce
change_blockdev & change_password.

 The latter and you're right about the cpu command, Avi has also
pointed this out.

> phased out later?

 No, we have to fix all this stuff before 0.13 is out, otherwise we'll
have to support them forever. Actually, we'll probably have some kind of
deprecation process, even then we'll have to support bad commands for
long time.

This hunk seem to have "gained" tab-to-spaces conversion, unfortunately
in a makefile.

Applying the patch generated another hunk warning:

Haven't checked yet - harmless?

 Are those problems worth a resping or can we fix then with
additional patches? It works ok here.

Oh, it's indeed a local issue. Likely our corporate mail server. Nice...

Jan, I believe you're okay with the current state of this series, yes?

I'd like to apply these ASAP so we can start formal spec review.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Monitor: Drop QMP documentation from code

[Luiz Capitulino]

Previous commit added QMP documentation to the qemu-monitor.hx
file, it's is a copy of this information.

While it's good to keep it near code, maintaining two copies of
the same information is too hard and has little benefit as we
don't expect client writers to consult the code to find how to
use a QMP command.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3]: QMP: Commands doc

[Luiz Capitulino]

This new version moves the documentation to qemu-monitor.hx and now
QMP/qmp-commands.txt is generated from there (thanks Jan!).

I hope I've addressed all review comments in this version and now it should
describe reality.

Next step is to fix glitches (after this series is merged, of course).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] QMP: Introduce commands documentation

[Luiz Capitulino]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its
supported commands documentation.

The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however
self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a
long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done.

In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier,
this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes
all QMP supported commands.

This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain,
text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at
least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits
are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to
generate a single text file from them.

+                        ----------------------
+
+This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
+
+Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
+means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
+QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
+
+QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
+usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
+return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
+
+It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
+a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
+protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
+
+Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
+
+-> data issued by the Client
+<- Server data response
+
+Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
+information on the Server command and response formats.
+
+NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
+
+1. Regular Commands
+===================
+
+Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
+refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.
