2018-05-23virtio-balloon: add hugetlb page allocation countsJonathan Helman
qemu should read and report hugetlb page allocation counts exported in the following kernel patch: commit 4c3ca37c4a4394978fd0f005625f6064ed2b9a64 Author: Jonathan Helman <jonathan.helman@oracle.com> Date: Mon Mar 19 11:00:35 2018 -0700 virtio_balloon: export hugetlb page allocation counts Export the number of successful and failed hugetlb page allocations via the virtio balloon driver. These 2 counts come directly from the vm_events HTLB_BUDDY_PGALLOC and HTLB_BUDDY_PGALLOC_FAIL. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Helman <jonathan.helman@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

2018-05-14net: Remove the deprecated "vlan" parameterThomas Huth
It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0" parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev in case hubs are really wanted instead.

2018-05-04qobject: Replace qobject_incref/QINCREF qobject_decref/QDECREFMarc-André Lureau
Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * as well as its subtypes, we can have macros qobject_ref() / qobject_unref() that work everywhere instead of having to use QINCREF() / QDECREF() for QObject and qobject_incref() / qobject_decref() for its subtypes. The replacement is mechanical, except I broke a long line, and added a cast in monitor_qmp_cleanup_req_queue_locked(). Unlike qobject_decref(), qobject_unref() doesn't accept void *. Note that the new macros evaluate their argument exactly once, thus no need to shout them.

2018-04-09vhost-user: back SET/GET_CONFIG requests with a protocol featureMaxime Coquelin
Without a dedicated protocol feature, QEMU cannot know whether the backend can handle VHOST_USER_SET_CONFIG and VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG messages. This patch adds a protocol feature that is only advertised by QEMU if the device implements the config ops. Vhost user init fails if the device support the feature but the backend doesn't. The backend should only send VHOST_USER_SLAVE_CONFIG_CHANGE_MSG requests if the protocol feature has been negotiated.

2018-03-12replay: push replay_mutex_lock up the call treeAlex Bennée
Now instead of using the replay_lock to guard the output of the log we now use it to protect the whole execution section. This replaces what the BQL used to do when it was held during TCG execution. We also introduce some rules for locking order - mainly that you cannot take the replay_mutex while holding the BQL. This leads to some slight sophistry during start-up and extending the replay_mutex_destroy function to unlock the mutex without checking for the BQL condition so it can be cleanly dropped in the non-replay case.

2018-03-02specs/qcow2: Fix documentation of the compressed cluster descriptorAlberto Garcia
This patch fixes several mistakes in the documentation of the compressed cluster descriptor: 1) the documentation claims that the cluster descriptor contains the number of sectors used to store the compressed data, but what it actually contains is the number of sectors *minus one* or, in other words, the number of additional sectors after the first one. 2) the width of the fields is incorrectly specified. The number of bits used by each field is x = 62 - (cluster_bits - 8) for the offset field y = (cluster_bits - 8) for the size field So the offset field's location is [0, x-1], not [0, x] as stated. 3) the size field does not contain the size of the compressed data, but rather the number of sectors where that data is stored. The compressed data starts at the exact point specified in the offset field and ends when there's enough data to produce a cluster of decompressed data. Both points can be in the middle of a sector, allowing several compressed clusters to be stored next to one another, sharing sectors if necessary.
