[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] fw_cfg: spec update, misc. cleanup, optimize read |
Date: |
Mon, 2 Nov 2015 19:35:40 -0500 |
New since v2:
- Patches 1-3: updated to address Laszlo's suggestions for better
and more accurate change descriptions in commit logs, comments,
etc.
- Patch 4: Per Laszlo's recommendation, this has been split into
two separate components for improved legibility:
- Patch 4/5: Introduces the new generic read method, and
replaces the existing MMIO logic
- Patch 5/5: Replaces the IOPort read logic, and cleans
up the remaining unused bits of code.
Thanks again,

>This series' main purpose is to update (and simplify) the specified
>read callback behavior. An earlier standalone patch to move qemu function
>call API documentation into fw_cfg.h should logically be part of the series.
>
>Here's the summary of what each patch does:
>
> - Patch 1/4 is an updated version of the standalone v1 patch
> I sent out earlier; it moves all the qemu-internal host-side
> function call api documentation out of docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt,
> and into the fw_cfg.h header file, next to the prototype of
> each documented api function.
>
> - Patch 2/4 modifies the specified behavior of read callbacks
> (from being invoked once per byte read, to being invoked once,
> before ANY data is read, specifically once each time an item
> is selected).
>
> - Patch 3/4 additionally removes the now-redundant offset argument
> from the read callback prototype.
>
> - Finally, 4/4 consolidates (non-DMA) reads, minimizing the number
> of times redundant sanity checks are performed, particularly for
> wide (> byte) sized reads.
