As a part of the long term effort to convert migration to vmstate the migration of virtio devices was recently partially switched to vmstate starting with the outer layer (commit 5943124cc "virtio: Migration helper function and macro" and the subsequent "virtio-*: Wrap in vmstate" commits). This was done by introducing a vmstate based wrapper driving the well know virtio migration process. As this transition is still in progress, some synergies were left unexploited, and some things can be expressed in a more vmstatish way.
Let us simplify a couple of things and get rid of some code duplication. NOTE: This series is exploring the suggestions of Paolo (I did my best to do everything as requested). I still think that we are better of with a macro that with spelling out the VMStateDescription for each device separately and redundantly. The LOC balance of the previous version was -41, this version is at +14 because of the expanded macros. IMHO the readability benefit of spelling out the vmsd definitions is questionabe (but it is beneficial if using ctags or grep). I hope for a good discussion, but I can live with this version too. v1 --> v2: * export VMStateInfo instead of helpers * change semantic of VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE * drop VIRTIO_DEF_DEVICE_VMSD macro, use its expansion instead Halil Pasic (12): virtio: prepare change VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE macro virtio-blk: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-net: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-9p: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-serial: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-gpu: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-input: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-scsi: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-balloon: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio-rng: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE vhost-vsock: convert VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE virtio: cleanup VMSTATE_VIRTIO_DEVICE hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-device.c | 15 +++++++++------ hw/block/virtio-blk.c | 25 +++++++++---------------- hw/char/virtio-serial-bus.c | 16 +++++++++------- hw/display/virtio-gpu.c | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ hw/input/virtio-input.c | 21 +++++++++++---------- hw/net/virtio-net.c | 40 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c | 26 +++++++++----------------- hw/virtio/vhost-vsock.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c | 15 +++++++++------ hw/virtio/virtio-rng.c | 19 +++++++++++-------- hw/virtio/virtio.c | 17 ++++++++++++++++- include/hw/virtio/virtio.h | 27 ++++++++------------------- 12 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) -- 2.8.4
