[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/4] vhost: two fixes and used_memslots refactoring

[Jay Zhou]

v4 -> v5:
  Making the followed up device_add to fall back to userspace
  virtio when netdev_add fails if vhost force flag does not set.

Jay Zhou (4):
  vhost: remove assertion to prevent crash
  tap: do not close fd if only vhost failed to initialize
  vhost: fix memslot limit check
  vhost: used_memslots refactoring

considering how non trivial touched code is, would you mind
first adding 'make check' testcases for success/failure paths

It would help with merging and ensure that future changes to
vhost won't break memslots handling.

Will look into the testcases. Maybe it would take some time since I'm not
very familiar with them.

ok can you repost whatever's ready please? And please use proper
threading (e.g. generated with git format-patch --thread=shallow).

Will send a v6 version soon.

PS: Considering vhost memslots series and the patch "tap: do not close fd
if only vhost failed to initialize" are two separate issues, will send
them separately.

Which tests would you like this to be added to?

At least a test for, so it won't regress unnoticed in future
 1st: [PATCH v5 3/4] vhost: fix memslot limit check
 2nd: limit check failure triggered when DIMM module hotplugged

PS:
It's fine if tests will be another series on top of this one.
