[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Chardev related fixes

[Lei Li]

This series tries to fix the consistency of char devices udp and 
ringbuf and a regression of chardev filename.

Lei Li (3):
  chardev: Make consistent with udp device for new qapi backend
  chardev: Make the name of ringbuf device consistent
  chardev: Get filename for new qapi backend

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] chardev: Make consistent with udp device for new qapi backend

[Lei Li]

When register and open a chardev udp, the backend name should be udp 
not dgram, and we do not have backend dgram in the chardev list. This
patch makes the new qapi udp backend consistent with the original
udp device.

This changes the QMP API, so it has to go into 1.5 or never.

but this rename would be ABI-visible if it doesn't make the release.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] chardev: Make the name of ringbuf device consistent

[Lei Li]

Now we have ringbuf char device, but the backend name of it
is a little confusion. We actually register it by 'memory', but
the description in qemu-option, the name of open functions
and the new api backend called it 'ringbuf'. It should keep
consistent. This patch named it all to 'ringbuf'.

Oh, actually this is different.  The only inconsistency is in the name
of the type, the enum is consistent with the -chardev option and it
cannot be renamed because it was in QEMU 1.4.

So we can change the type, but we can do that post 1.5.

This would be an ABI-visible change.

Careful.  While the union existed in 1.4, it had fewer elements; the
'memory' element was added in commit 1da48c65, which means it has never
been released yet.  If you want to avoid an ABI change, then this commit
must go in NOW.

This also reiterates the question of how libvirt can know which members
of a union are present, since we have added members to the union that
were not available in 1.4 but still don't have a way to introspect which
chardevs can be added.

Sorry, I was referring to "-chardev memory", which exists in 1.4 and
cannot be renamed (which this patch does).

We should not change the enum, only the name of the struct (and the
other way round: from ChardevRingbuf to ChardevMemory).  The enum and
- -chardev backend should be as consistent as possible.

Libvirt doesn't use most of the chardev types.  IIRC
 those that are supported were all in 1.4 (pty, sockets).

Sure, patches based on this will be send out soon.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] chardev: Get filename for new qapi backend

[Lei Li]

This patch sets the filename when the new qapi backend
init from opts.

The previous patch and discussions as link below:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/243896/

If anyone who have better idea to fix this please let
me know your suggestions.
