Re: [PATCH 00/22] qemu: Capability probing from 'query-command-line-options' (part 1?)

Hi, this series started as an exploration in how we use 'query-command-line-options' and the way to possibly step away from using it. The main problem is that query-command-line-options is using old-style command line parsing infra in qemu and thus doesn't scale. In an effor to help qemu developers identify what we still need to query using the command I set to clean up the parsing. This series consists of: - removal of unneeded tests (covered by other cases or pointless) - adding of comments which simplify lookup of capability string from enum value name - grouping of the queries by name - refactor of probing of stuff which can be probed differently - removal of some other probes - cleanups of the driver code In general we've got the following cases: - good ones: - can be queried differently - this patchset has converted (probably) all of them - the "bad" ones: - stuff we can't replace yet and we need to probe it, few examples are: - pressence of seccomp - support of 'fd=' for chardevs - various VNC and spice config options - the possibly "ugly": - these are options which are supported by all qemu versions and are unlikely to be removed, but there's no different way to probe them, we can always assume them - those are the QEMU_CAPS_NAME* and QEMU_CAPS_MSG_TIMESTAMP at the end, these patches are RFC as it may be considered a backwards step just to assume it's supported Note that the removal of probing of -drive throttling caps can be replaced in case something gets deprecated via probing the 'throttling' object. This was added recently though. Since it's unlikely that pieces would be removed in the groups they were added removal of these caps is classified in the 'good' part.
