2013-10-14docs/memory: Explictly state that MemoryRegion priority is signedMarcel Apfelbaum1-0/+4
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.

2013-10-11Use qemu-project.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi2-2/+2
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 Wolf1-0/+17
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>

2013-07-26qapi: Anonymous unionsKevin Wolf1-0/+25
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>

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.
