But there's a small problem. Today getfd commands are closely tied to the Monitor. In Anthony's development tree, the getfd commands are tied to the new QMP server's session support.
Asking you to integrate the new QMP server only to have the getfd command returning a simple integer would be too much, but at the same time I think you'll have to at least to break it from the monitor. This means moving its data structure away from the Monitor object and probably reworking the internal API used to get fds (ie. monitor_get_fd()).
Shouldn't be hard, but you should be careful not to break external users.
Just to verify, are you talking about moving the "fds" off the Monitor struct? --> QLIST_HEAD(,mon_fd_t) fds;
Yes.
Was this already moved away from the Monitor struct in Anthony's development tree? If not do you have a recommendation on where to move it?
Yes, iirc it moved inside the new QMP server session support in Anthony's tree.
I think this would make more sense to me if I took a look at the getfd code in Anthony's development tree. Is this the correct tree? I had some issues cloning it. https://github.com/aliguori/qemu-next.git
The 'development' tree I'm referring to is the old glib branch in git://repo.or.cz/qemu/aliguori.git.
Hmm, it looks like fds is still on the Monitor struct in that branch.
Oh, you're right. That code is unfinished. It seems that I kept the finished version in my mind.
Oh how I wish I could git clone some people's brains. :)
Well, I don't think that moving the fd array to another object will buy us much, so you can keep it this way. Note that you still have to convert do_getfd() to the QAPI as pointed out by Stefan and that the monitor object (*mon pointer) won't be passed to it. You'll have to use cur_mon in qmp_getfd() (as Anthony's version does).
Alright, thanks for the info. -- Regards, Corey
