[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-1.4 v2 00/13] Rework ring buffer chardev before API calcifies

[Markus Armbruster]

We have a serious design bug in memchar-write [PATCH 01], and a less
serious one in memchar-read [PATCH 02].  I really, really want them
fixed before the API gets calcified by the release.

While discussing v1, I mentioned to Luiz how much I dislike the messy
naming, and he encouraged me to fix it up, too.  That's now in [PATCH
11], together with the documentation improvements.

While there, plug memory leaks [PATCH 05], drop undocumented
misfeatures [PATCH 03+08+09], improve device configuration [PATCH 12],
escape control characters in HMP [PATCH 13], and clean up some [other
patches].

v2:
* Patches reordered slightly, to have the new ones all at the end.
* [PATCH 09+12 v1] got squashed with the naming cleanup, and became
  [PATCH 11+12 v2].
* [PATCH 13 v2] is new.  I forgot to include it in v1.
* [PATCH 02+06 v1] screwed up ringbuf-read when size argument actually
  cuts; don't do that.
