2018-01-19hostmem-file: add "align" optionHaozhong Zhang
When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size (getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address. However, some backends may require alignments different than the page size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned, fails with a kernel message like [617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff) Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement, we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can specify a proper alignment via this option.

2017-09-19hostmem-file: Add "discard-data" optionEduardo Habkost
The new option can be used to indicate that the file contents can be destroyed and don't need to be flushed to disk when QEMU exits or when the memory backend object is removed. Internally, it will trigger a madvise(MADV_REMOVE) call when the memory backend is removed.

2016-10-17hostmem-file: Register TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_FILE properties as class propertiesEduardo Habkost
To do the conversion, the file_backend_class_init() was moved after the getter/setter functions. The old file_backend_instance_init() function was removed because it is not needed anymore. The NULL errp arguments on the property registration calls were changed to &error_abort. Reviewed-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

2016-03-22include/qemu/osdep.h: Don't include qapi/error.hMarkus Armbruster
Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h, compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a similar job to this file and are under similar constraints." qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of 100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need. Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List. Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h, sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h comment quoted above similarly. This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [Fix compilation without the spice devel packages. - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2015-09-11maint: avoid useless "if (foo) free(foo)" patternDaniel P. Berrange
The free() and g_free() functions both happily accept NULL on any platform QEMU builds on. As such putting a conditional 'if (foo)' check before calls to 'free(foo)' merely serves to bloat the lines of code. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
