[Qemu-devel] RFC adding ioctl's to virtserial/virtconsole

[Alon Levy <alevy@redhat.com>]

Hi,

 This patch adds three CHR_IOCTLs and uses them in virtserial devices, to be used
by a chardev backend, such as a spice vm channel (spice is a vdi solution).

 Basically virtio-serial provides three driver initiated events for guest open of
a device, guest close, and guest ready (driver port init complete) that before this
patch are not exposed to the chardev backend.

 With the spicevmc backend this is used like this:
qemu -chardev spicevmc,id=vdiport,name=vdiport -device virtserialport,chardev=vdiport,name=com.redhat.spice.0

 I'd appreciate any feedback if this seems the right way to accomplish this, and
for the numbers I grabbed.

Alon

Subject: [PATCH] virtio-console: add IOCTL's for guest_{ready,open,close}

Add three IOCTL corresponding to the three control events of:
 guest_ready -> CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_READY
 guest_open  -> CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_OPEN
 guest_close -> CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_CLOSE

Can be used by a matching backend.
