[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v11 0/6] QAPI/QOM work for non-scalar object properties

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

This patch series contains only the QAPI/QOM bits of my previous
access control patch series:

This series provides the infrastructure to allow use of non-scalar
properties with the -object CLI arg, and object_add monitor commands.
eg a property which is a list of structs. The syntax used for this is
intentionally compatible with the syntax used by the block layer. This
will allow the qdict_crumple method to be used by the block layer to
convert from QemuOpts into structured QAPI block layer structs at a
future date. It is already used by one of Max's patch series, and
recent patches for glusterfs multiple-host support could have made
use of it to simplify code.

Changed in v11:

 - Split QAPI/QOM patches off from the access control patches

Changed in v10:

 - Fixed stupid build mistake

Changed in v9:

 - Rename QmpInputVisitor -> QObjectInputVisitor (Markus/Eric)
 - Rename QmpOutputVisitor -> QObjectOutputVisitor (Markus/Eric)
 - Drop "strict" param from qobject_string_visitor_new() (Marus)
 - Misc docs typos
 - Add a visitor able to use strict or string types (for Eric's
   netdev series)
 - Add a authorization API implementation that uses PAM

Changed in v8:

 - Rebase due to merge of Visitor API changes (Eric)

Changed in v7:

 - Misc typos in API docs (Marc-André)
 - Fix parsing of properties using type_size visitor (Marc-André)
 - Mark based auth class as abstract (Marc-André)
 - Fix QAPI version annotations to say 2.7 (Marc-André)

Changed in v6:

 - Switch from while() to for() loop for iterating over
   dicts (Markus)
 - Avoid redundant strdup (Markus)
 - Rewrap comments at 70 chars (Markus)
 - Change qdict_list_size() to qdict_is_list() (Markus)
 - Misc docs changes (Markus)
 - Change QmpInputVisitor so the code for handling the
   string types is separate from code using native
   scalar types (Paolo)
 - Centralize code parsing bool strings (Markus)
 - Centralize code parsing int strings (Markus)

Changed in v5:

 - Resolved conflicts with Eric's visitor refactoring which
   made it stricter about struct begin/end calls
 - Added support for ACLs to migration code now its TLS
   support is merged.
 - Fixed typos in example in commit message

Changed in v4:
 - Ensure examples use shell escaping for '*' (Eric)
 - Add more tests for crumple impl (Eric)
 - Raise error if sasl-acl/tls-acl are requested but
   sasl/tls auth are not enabled (Eric)
 - Document return codes for auth check more clearly (Eric)
 - Don't silently turn a glob match into a strcmp
 - Other misc small typos/fixes (Eric)

Changed in v3:

 - Created separate qdict_list_size method (Max)
 - Added unit tests for case of empty dict (Max)
 - Fix variable names to use underscore separator (Max)
 - Fix potential free of uninitialized variables (Max)
 - Use QObject APIs for casts, instead of C type casts (Max)

Changed in v2:

 - Adapt to changes in qapi visitor APIs
 - Add a 'bool recursive' flag to qdict_crumple (Max)
 - Fix memory leaks in qdict_crumple (Max)
 - Split out key splitting code from qdict_crumple (Max)
 - Use saner variable names in qdict_crumple (Max)
 - Added some tests for bad inputs to qdict_crumple


Daniel P. Berrange (6):
  qdict: implement a qdict_crumple method for un-flattening a dict
  option: make parse_option_bool/number non-static
  qapi: rename QmpInputVisitor to QObjectInputVisitor
  qapi: rename QmpOutputVisitor to QObjectOutputVisitor
  qapi: add a QmpInputVisitor that does string conversion
  qom: support arbitrary non-scalar properties with -object
