[not about the series], shouldn't we finally deprecate older interface? By older interface, you are asking about the QMP command 'nbd-server-start' as compared to struct NbdServerOptions. But the struct is not directly present in any QMP commands; rather, it only appears to be used by qemu-storage-daemon as one of its command line options that needs to set up an NBD server with a JSON-like syntax that has less nesting than QMP nbd-server-start. blockdev-nbd.c has two functions [nbd_server_start_options(NbdServerOPtions *arg...) and qmp_nbd_server_start(args...)] that both unpack their slightly different forms and pass them as parameters to nbd_server_start() that is then agnostic to whether the older QMP command or newer q-s-d CLI option was specified. It looks like libvirt is still using QMP nbd-server-start. If we were to start the deprecation process for qemu 10.0, what would the new command look like? What would everyone be required to use by qemu 10.2? -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. Virtualization: qemu.org | libguestfs.org
