[PATCH v21 00/20] Initial support for multi-process Qemu

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

Hi,

This is the v21 of the patchset. This version has the following changes:

[PATCH v18 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof &
               qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers
  - Separates out the error handling for (len = 0) & (len < 0)
  - (len = 0) does not necessarily mean EOF. It could also be
    a case where only FDs are read, without any data with more data
    possibly on the way. Addresses this scenario as well, as was
    pointed out in the feedback from last time.

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 20
versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following
the links below ([1] - [20]). Following people contributed to the design and
implementation of this project:
Jagannathan Raman <jag.raman@oracle.com>

Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatraju@oracle.com>

We would like to thank you for your feedback in the
design and implementation of this project. Qemu wiki page:
