2022-02-28qapi: Belatedly adjust limitations documentationMarkus Armbruster
Commit 57df0dff1a "qapi: Extend -compat to set policy for unstable interfaces" (v6.2.0) took care of covering experimental features, but neglected to adjust a comment suggesting to cover it. Adjust it now.

2021-10-29qapi: Extend -compat to set policy for unstable interfacesMarkus Armbruster
New option parameters unstable-input and unstable-output set policy for unstable interfaces just like deprecated-input and deprecated-output set policy for deprecated interfaces (see commit 6dd75472d5 "qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated interfaces"). This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. For now, this covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged with feature 'unstable'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, or the command line. Note that there is no good way for management application to detect presence of these new option parameters: they are not visible output of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

2021-10-27qapi: Implement deprecated-input={reject,crash} for enum valuesMarkus Armbruster
This copies the code implementing the policy from qapi/qmp-dispatch.c to qapi/qobject-input-visitor.c. Tolerable, but if we acquire more copies, we should look into factoring them out.

2021-10-27qapi: Add feature flags to enum membersMarkus Armbruster
This is quite similar to commit 84ab008687 "qapi: Add feature flags to struct members", only for enums instead of structs. Special feature flag 'deprecated' is silently ignored there. This is okay only because it will be implemented shortly.

2021-03-19qapi: New -compat deprecated-input=crashMarkus Armbruster
Policy "crash" calls abort() when deprecated input is received. Bugs in integration tests may mask the error from policy "reject". Provide a larger hammer: crash outright. Masking that seems unlikely. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210318155519.1224118-12-armbru@redhat.com>
2021-03-19qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated interfacesMarkus Armbruster
New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. -compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error). -compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts). Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented later in this series. For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features. Note that there is no good way for management application to detect presence of -compat: it's not visible output of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.
