Hi, Added some docs for the multifd methods since I removed the docstrings from the various implementations.
For the recv packet cleanup, I decided to go with the const packet suggestion. I generally prefer to not have that sort of side effect, even if it's for sanitization.

One more version to address a couple of cleanups suggested by Philippe. CI run: https://gitlab.com/farosas/qemu/-/pipelines/1427843439 v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240823173911.6712-1-faro...@suse.de Not much changed sinced v3, the most notable is that I kept the nocomp names and created multifd-nocomp.c. I think "plain" is even more misterious, so let's keep what we are already used to. CI run: https://gitlab.com/farosas/qemu/-/pipelines/1425141484 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240801123516.4498-1-faro...@suse.de This v3 incorporates the suggestions done by Peter in v2. Aside from those, of note: - fixed the allocation of MultiFDSendData. The previous version didn't account for compiler-inserted holes; - kept the packet split patch; - added some patches to remove p->page_count, p->page_size, pages->allocated. These are all constants and don't need to be per-channel; - moved the code into multifd-ram.c. However, I left the p->packet allocation (depends on page_count) and p->normal + p->zero behind because I need to see how the device state patches will deal with the packet stuff before I can come up with a way to move those out of the MultiFD*Params. It might not be worth it adding another struct just for the ram code to store p->normal, p->zero. With this I'm pretty much done with what I think needs to be changed as a prereq for the device state work. I don't have anything else in mind to add to this series. CI run: https://gitlab.com/farosas/qemu/-/pipelines/1395572680 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240722175914.24022-1-faro...@suse.de v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240620212111.29319-1-faro...@suse.de First of all, apologies for the roughness of the series. I'm off for the next couple of weeks and wanted to put something together early for your consideration. This series is a refactoring (based on an earlier, off-list attempt[0]), aimed to remove the usage of the MultiFDPages_t type in the multifd core. If we're going to add support for more data types to multifd, we first need to clean that up. This time around this work was prompted by Maciej's series[1]. I see you're having to add a bunch of is_device_state checks to work around the rigidity of the code. Aside from the VFIO work, there is also the intent (coming back from Juan's ideas) to make multifd the default code path for migration, which will have to include the vmstate migration and anything else we put on the stream via QEMUFile. I have long since been bothered by having 'pages' sprinkled all over the code, so I might be coming at this with a bit of a narrow focus, but I believe in order to support more types of payloads in multifd, we need to first allow the scheduling at multifd_send_pages() to be independent of MultiFDPages_t. So here it is. Let me know what you think. (as I said, I'll be off for a couple of weeks, so feel free to incorporate any of this code if it's useful. Or to ignore it completely).
