2013-10-11Use qemu-project.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi
qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will point to it! The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori <anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already references qemu-project.org. Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet. Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org. Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are using the latest URLs: $ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes $ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories $ git submodule update --init Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-id: 1381495958-8306-1-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@amazon.com>
2013-10-11qapi-types/visit.py: Inheritance for structsKevin Wolf
This introduces a new 'base' key for struct definitions that refers to another struct type. On the JSON level, the fields of the base type are included directly into the same namespace as the fields of the defined type, like with unions. On the C level, a pointer to a struct of the base type is included. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
2013-10-11qcow2: Alignment of snapshot table entriesMax Reitz
The qcow2 specification does not explicitly state so far that every snapshot table entry is aligned to 8 bytes. QEMU, in contrast, does this alignment, thus it should be properly documented (which this patch does). Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

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>
