This patch adds QMP support for the getfd command using the QAPI framework.
Like the HMP getfd command, it is used to pass a file descriptor via
SCM_RIGHTS.  However, the QMP getfd command also returns the received file
descriptor, which is a difference in behavior from the HMP getfd command,
which returns nothing.

I have a few comments regarding the qapi conversion below, but something
important to discuss is that returning an int the way you're doing it is
certainly incompatible.

Thanks for your feedback.


Today, we return a dict on success:

  { "return": {} }

But this patch changes it to:

  { "return": 42 }

There are two ways to do this without breaking compatibility:

  1. Add a new command (say get-file-descriptor)

What do you think about using getfd2 for the command name? I'm thinking getfd2 may be more obvious that it corresponds to closefd. That assumes we'll use the same array internally to store fds and closefd can be used to close the fd opened by get-file-descriptor/getfd2.

I assume this approach would still return an int:  { "return": 42 }


  2. Return a type instead, like:

      { "return": { "file-descriptor": 42 } }

I think I prefer item 1, as we could also take the opportunity to fix the
argument type and improve its name. Besides, we don't have a schema to do 2.

Is it fdname that you think could be improved? fdname seems pretty straight forward to me.


Also, please split the getfd conversion to the qapi from changing its
return type in two patches (even if we go for a new command, please do
convert getfd too, for completeness); and also convert closefd, please.

Ok

The .user_print line should be dropped.

You should use 'cmd' (instead of 'cmd_new'). Please, look for other qapi
conversions for examples (like a15fef21c).

Ok

This should be moved to hmp.c and the function signature should be different,
looking at other qapi conversions will help you.
