2013-10-14docs/memory: Explictly state that MemoryRegion priority is signedMarcel Apfelbaum
When memory regions overlap, priority can be used to specify which of them takes priority. By making the priority values signed rather than unsigned, we make it more convenient to implement a situation where one "background" region should appear only where no other region exists: rather than having to explicitly specify a high priority for all the other regions, we can let them take the default (zero) priority and specify a negative priority for the background region.

2013-07-26qapi: Anonymous unionsKevin Wolf
The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to have a union type that allows both of these: { 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' } { 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } } Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as discriminator. For this example you could take: { 'union': 'BlockRef', 'discriminator': {}, 'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions', 'reference': 'str' } } { 'type': 'ExampleObject', 'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } } Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
2013-07-26qapi: Flat unions with arbitrary discriminatorKevin Wolf
Instead of the rather verbose syntax that distinguishes base and subclass fields... { "type": "file", "read-only": true, "data": { "filename": "test" } } ...we can now have both in the same namespace, allowing a more direct mapping of the command line, and moving fields between the common base and subclasses without breaking the API: { "driver": "file", "read-only": true, "filename": "test" } Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

2013-07-23rdma: update documentation to reflect new unpin supportMichael R. Hines
As requested, the protocol now includes memory unpinning support. This has been implemented in a non-optimized manner, in such a way that one could devise an LRU or other workload-specific information on top of the basic mechanism to influence the way unpinning happens during runtime. The feature is not yet user-facing, and is thus can only be enabled at compile-time. Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael R.

2013-03-11migration: move rate limiting to QEMUFilePaolo Bonzini
Rate limiting is now simply a byte counter; client call qemu_file_rate_limit() manually to determine if they have to exit. So it is possible and simple to move the functionality to QEMUFile. This makes the remaining functionality of s->file redundant; in the next patch we can remove it and write directly to s->migration_file.

2012-11-16vga: fix bochs alignment issueGerd Hoffmann
The bochs dispi interface traditionally uses port 0x1ce as 16bit index register and port 0x1cf as 16bit data register. The later is unaligned, and probably for that reason the the data register was moved to 0x1d0 for non-x86 archs. This patch makes the data register available at 0x1d0 on x86 too. The old x86 location is kept for compatibility reasons, so both 0x1cf and 0x1d0 can be used as data register on x86. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
