From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ian Jackson Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 00/28] libxl: Deprivilege qemu Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:44:35 +0000 Message-ID: <1450809903-3393-1-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xen.org Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xen.org To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Cc: Wei Liu , Ian Campbell , Stefano Stabellini List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org This is a new version of Stefano Stabellini's series [PATCH v5 0/6] libxl: xs_restrict QEMU I took Stefano's code as a spec for how to interact with qemu, and have reworked the whole series. In particular, I have - rebased onto staging - split up some of the larger patches - restructured the patches so that every intervening version should work - redone the async task handling - provided what seem to me to be appropriate configuration options - shaved a few yaks (although I tried to limit this!) - fixed the cross-version compatibility - reduced the new permission grant for the domain to only .../physmap I have compiled this but I haven't tested it yet. I think it would be very useful at this stage for others to read the commit messages, internal docs, and important structural elements. Detailed code review should probably wait until after testing which in turn ought to wait unil we decide what (if any) design and interface changes are needed. And I don't expect to get any feedback until the new year :-). Happy holidays all. Regards, Ian.
