Changes from v1:
Fixes for the comments Hans and Alon made. Mainly for patch 3:
* use do_flow_control flag, instead of ~0 for infinite tokens
* avoid code duplication in spice_char_device_send_to_client_tokens_set/add
* fix bug in num_self_token counting when the cur_write_buf was associated with
a client that was destroyed.
* moved the recursion tracking in read_from_device to the device state, instead
of using
a static variable
* fix ref counting for the char device state
* add some asserts
* removed a routine that wasn't used: spice_char_device_client_num_tokens_get
----------------------------
Hi,
This patch series extends SpiceCharDeviceState to manage the character devices
flow control:
wakeup and reading from the device; writing to the device; start/stop the
device; server/client tokens
management, including partial support for multiple clients.
The agent, spicevmc, and smartcard, were modified to use SpiceCharDeviceState.
Functional differences from the previous implementation:
(1) Api for starting and stopping the device: when the device is stopped,
incoming messages from the client are kept in the
server till the device is started (or migrated - not implemented yet).
(2) vdagent: not ignoring tokens received from the client; generalize token
management for multiple clients.
(3) smartcard, spicevmc:
(a) support partial writes; while this might not be necessary for usbredir,
it may be required for future devices.
(b) smartcard and spicevmc channels can be easily extended to support
tokening.
The patches serve also as a preliminary work for supporting seamless migration
by:
(1) having start/stop api: we need to stop writing to the guest when savevm
starts
(2) having write queues for all character devices and not just the agent:
we need to save data that reached the server after the guest was stopped.
(3) having tokens support: in addition to the ongoing flow control it provides,
it also allows us to set an upper limit to the amount of data we might need
to migrate.
The series also contain some bug fixes.
Regards,
Yonit.
