[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] vl: Print warning if a non-empty default config file is found

[Eduardo Habkost]

This missed v2.9 and v2.10.  Let's try again: we can include this
on v2.11, and remove the default config file in QEMU 2.12 or
2.13.

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Rebase to latest qemu.git master

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Remove unnecessary translation of qemu_config_parse()
  erros to -EINVAL at block/blkdebug.c:read_config()
  * Suggsted-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

We plan to remove support for /etc/qemu/qemu.conf in the near
future. Make QEMU print a warning in case there a non-empty
/etc/qemu/qemu.conf is loaded, so users have time to adapt.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] config: qemu_config_parse() return number of config groups

[Eduardo Habkost]

Change qemu_config_parse() to return the number of config groups
in success and -EINVAL on error. This will allow callers of
qemu_config_parse() to check if something was really loaded from
the config file.

All existing callers of qemu_config_parse() and
qemu_read_config_file() only check if the return value was
negative, so the change shouldn't affect them.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] vl: Print warning when a default config file is loaded

[Eduardo Habkost]

In case there were options set in the default config file, print
a warning so users can update their scripts.

If somebody wants to keep the config file as-is, avoid the
warning and use a command-line that will work in future QEMU
versions, they can use:

 $QEMU -no-user-config -readconfig /etc/qemu/qemu.conf

I was going to add an additional message suggesting it as a
solution, but I thought it could make it more confusing. The
solution can be documented in the QEMU 2.11 ChangeLog.

Shouldn't we now use warn_report() with no 'Warning:' prefix?

Do you want the Suggested-by (spelled correctly) in the commit body proper?

Oops, yes.  I will fix it and send v4.

This line refers to a one-line change in the patch between v1 and
v2, only.  Doesn't seem appropriate for a Suggested-by line in
the commit message.
