The buffer is used to save the FIT info for all the presented nvdimm

nvdimm hotplug

As FIT buffer can not completely mapped into guest address space,
OSPM will exit to QEMU multiple times, however, there is the race
condition - FIT may be changed during these multiple exits, so that
some rules are introduced:
1) the user should hold the @lock to access the buffer and

I don't understand the purpose of the QEMUMutex lock.  Don't all threads
calling nvdimm/acpi code hold the QEMU global mutex (main loop and vcpu
threads)?

-static void nvdimm_build_nfit(GSList *device_list, GArray *table_offsets,
+static void nvdimm_init_fit_buffer(NvdimmFitBuffer *fit_buf)
+{
+    qemu_mutex_init(&fit_buf->lock);
+    fit_buf->fit = g_array_new(false, true /* clear */, 1);

Is it possible to call nvdimm_build_device_structure() here?  That way
we don't duplicate the g_array_new() details.

dev->realized = value was already set above.

In order to preserve semantics you would need a bool old_value =
dev->realized which you can restore in post_realize_fail.  QEMU current
does not assign dev->realized = value when there is a failure!

Stefan,

as agreed on
 "Re: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 00/47] virtio, pc: fixes and features" thread
this series would be merged as is and then as follow up author
will fixup all issues with it.

For this patch it means a patch on top of Michael pull req
to drop lock and drop hotplug_handler_post_plug() code in favor
of existing hotplug_handler_plug().


Thank you, Igor, Michael and Stefan. I will do it asap after
this patchset is merged. :)
