Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Make use of the redirection of guest serial
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:03:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100426095656.26268.50549.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

The guest console is useful for troubleshooting the failure cases
especially for the one who has calltrace. And the session through it
is also useful for the networking related test cases ( consider the
test which could shutdown or crash the guest network ). so this
patchset first redirects the guest serial to unix domain socket and
then could log the guest serial through a thread or make it as a
method of session. The last patch makes all linux guests to use serial as
their consoles through unattended files.
