[Jagannathan Raman <jag.raman@oracle.com>]

Hi,

This is the v17 of the patchset. Thank you for your time reviewing v16.

This version has the following changes:

[PATCH v17 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof &
                  qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers
  - Addresses operator precedence issues based on feedback
  - Initializes/Clears *nfds & *fds in qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof()

To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the Proof Of Concept
patches before the BoF session in 2018. Subsequently, we have posted 16
versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following
the links below ([1] - [16]). Following people contributed to the design and
implementation of this project:
