Hello all, This are the latest version of the patches. Lots of things have changed since the last submission. A few of which I remember: - VNC copy / paste works* (* conditions apply) - client vnc copies get propagated to guest port 3 (/dev/vmch3) - guest writes to port 3 (/dev/vmch3) go straight to client's clipboard - sysfs hooks to autodiscover ports - support for 64 ports in this version (MAX_VIRTIO_SERIAL_PORTS). More ports can be added by introducing a new feature flag to maintain backward compat. However, till this code gets accepted upstream, the value of that #define can change. I think 64 ports are enough for everyone. - remove support for control queue (though this queue could make a comeback for just one use-case that I can currently think of: to prevent rogue (host) userspace putting lots of data into a guest that goes unconsumed for a while, increasing the memory pressure. To prevent this a threshold level can be decided upon and a control message can be sent to host userspace to prevent any more writes to the port. - numerous fixes There still exist a few kmalloc/kfree-related debug logs that spew up in the guest but I haven't been able to track them down. As for the merge with virtio-console, Christian has voiced some oppostion to that idea. For the merge to happen, the kernel folks have to agree in merging the driver as well and I can proceed once we have a resolution on this. Other than that, a few more rebases have to be done to the qemu code to make it apply to qemu-upstream. Please give this a good review. Thanks, Amit. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
