[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] In memory QEMUFile

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Hi,
  This patch-pair adds the QEMUSizedBuffer based in-memory QEMUFile
written by Stefan Berger and Joel Schopp.  I've made some minor
fixes (and typo cleanups) and modified the existing test-vmstate
to use it for some test cases.

  While there's nothing other than test cases using it yet, I think
it's worth going in by itself, since I'm using it in two separate
patchsets (postcopy and visitor/BER) and Sanidhya uses it in
the periodic vmstate test world.  In addition both microcheckpointing and
COLO have similar but independent implementations (although they both
have some extra-gotcha's so it might not be possible to reuse it), and
there was another implementation of the same thing in the Yabusame Postcopy
world.  Thus it seems best to put in, if only to stop people writing yet
another implementation.
