In 454f4b0f, we started down the path of supporting separate
configurations per display head (e.g., you have 2 heads - one with
EDID name "AAA" and the other with EDID name "BBB").
In this change, we add resolution to this configuration surface (e.g.,
you have 2 heads - one with resolution 111x222 and the other with
resolution 333x444).
-display vnc=localhost:0,id=aaa,display=vga,head=0 \
-display vnc=localhost:1,id=bbb,display=vga,head=1 \
-device '{"driver":"virtio-vga",
"max_outputs":2,
"id":"vga",
"outputs":[
{
"name":"AAA",
"xres":111,
"yres":222
},
{
"name":"BBB",
"xres":333,
"yres":444
}
]}'
Here is the behavior matrix of the current resolution configuration
surface (xres/yres) with the new resolution configuration surface
(outputs[i].xres/yres).
Note - we use "xres" and "yres" (instead of, say, "width" and "height")
to match analogous virtio_gpu_base_conf.xres/yres.
Case: !(xres || yres) && !(outputs[i].has_xres && outputs[i].has_yres)
Behavior: current behavior - outputs[0] enabled with default xres/yres
Case: (xres || yres) && !(outputs[i].has_xres && outputs[i].has_yres)
Behavior: current behavior - outputs[0] enabled with xres/yres
Case: outputs[i].has_xres && outputs[i].has_yres
Behavior: new behavior - outputs[i] enabled with outputs[i].xres/yres
Case: outputs[i].has_xres != outputs[i].has_yres
Behavior: error
Changelist:
* v5: changes after v4 review
* since 10.2 -> since 11.0
* setting only one of xres and yres is an error
* v4: changes after dropped from pull request
* rebase against master (3b5fe75e2c)
* use @NAME (@xres/@yres) in qapi/virtio.json docs
* documented behavior when only one or none of @xres/@yres is set
* v3: changes after v2 review
* fix new resolution configuration logic (&& instead of ||)
* correct use of api machinery (has_*)
* move documentation to QMP API
* v2: changes after v1 review + 10.2 rebase
* updated code, commit message, and cover letter to match new res config logic
* marked new VirtIOGPUOutput fields as optional and since 10.2
* v1: initial patch

Queued to virtio-gpu/next, thanks.
