[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/38] ivshmem: Fixes, cleanups, device model split |

Major issues addressed by this series:
* The specification document is incomplete and vague. Rewritten.
* When a peer goes away, and its ID gets reused for another one,
interrupts don't work.
* When configured for interrupts, we receive shared memory from the
server some time after realize(). This creates a (usually
short-lived) "no shared memory, yet" state. If the guest wins the
race, it is exposed to this state (known issue, if you count burying
in docs/specs/ as "known"). If migration wins the race, it fails or
corrupts memory.
* Interrupts are unreliable in a (usually small) time window after the
destination peer connects. I believe fixing this will require
changing the client/server protocol, so just document it for now.
* The device isn't capable to tell guest software whether it is
configured for interrupts. Fix that in a new, backwards-compatible
revision of the guest ABI, and bump the PCI revision. Deprecate the
old revision.
* The device properties are a confusing mess and badly checked.
Clean that up.
* Migration with interrupts relies on server behavior not guaranteed
by the specification. Tighten the specification.
Paolo, I'd like your opinion on PATCH 1, 3, 29 and 30. I hope I can
get competent review for my other patches elsewhere, but you're of
course welcome to review them, too.
