[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/8] bus-less device hotplug

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

This series is a excerpt from memory hotplug series, posted
for getting an opinion on hotplug implementation for bus-less
devices using link<>s as a means to provide connection
between hotplugged device and hotplug controller that performs
board specific actions that hot-added device ishould not be aware of.

Patches implementing link<> based hotplug are:
  qdev: link based hotplug
  pc: preallocate hotplug links for DIMMDevices
  ...
  pc: make PC_MACHINE memory hotplug controller
the rest is just an environment to make above work.

compile-able WIP tree is available at:
https://github.com/imammedo/qemu/commits/memory-hotplug-v8

way to test:
 - run:
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -object memory-ram,id=foo,size=1G -m 1G,slots=1,maxmem=2G
 - in monitor execute:
(qemu) device_add dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=foo
(qemu) info mtree

there should be "foo" memory region under "hotplug-memory" container.


Igor Mammedov (7):
  vl.c: extend -m option to support options for memory hotplug
  make machine_class_init() accessible outside of vl.c
  pc: prepare PC for custom machine state
  qdev: link based hotplug
  pc: preallocate hotplug links for DIMMDevices
  pc: initialize memory hotplug address space
  pc: make PC_MACHINE memory hotplug controller

Vasilis Liaskovitis (1):
  dimm: implement dimm device abstraction
