[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] Migration subsections (and ide as example)

[Juan Quintela]

Hi

At the end, here is the migration subsections implementation.  As an example I 
ported the last
two ide changes to migration to work with subsections.  Notes:

- subsections
  I went for qemu_peek_byte() insteadof adding a subsection part in
  qemu_loadvm_state() due to two reasons:
   - it makes mandatory that subsections came after sections (better for error 
messages)
   - it makes post_load() for the section to be run after subsections are 
loaded.
     I think that running section post_load() and then subsections can make for 
some subtle
      errors.
  How does it works?
  We have a new array of subsections at the end of each section (it can be 
NULL).
  Each subsection is composed of VMStateDescription and a test function.  test 
function
  checks if subsection is needed or not.  if needed, it is just emmited.
  On load, we peek to see if after a section is loaded, if there is any 
subsection
  at the end, and if so, we search for it on this section subsections.


- ide: 1st revert is not clear because there has been posterior changes that I 
honored.
  only change done is that ide_dummy_transfer_stop to transfer_end_table for it 
to be
  complete.

- testing.  In normal operation this code is not triggered (one of the reason 
for not wanting to
  sent it in the 1st place).  I used patch attached at the end to trigger it.

Commetnts?

Later, Juan.
