I think it should better go the other way around: add multichannel support to virtio-concole, probably guarded by a feature flag so old host+new guest and new host+old guest combinations continue to work. > Since there's support for only one console as of now, I've assigned port > #2 as the console port so that we hook into hvc when a port is found at > that location. Doesn't sound like this is going to be backward compatible ... Also I still think passing a 'protocol' string for each port is a good idea, so you can stick that into a sysfs file for guests use. Note it is probably easy to make virtio-console support multiple hvc lines by having one protocol for that (named 'console' for example). cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
