From: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

The grammar has a few issues:

* key-fragment = / [^=,.]* /

  Prose restricts key fragments: they "must be valid QAPI names or
  consist only of decimal digits".  Technically, '' consists only of
  decimal digits.  The code rejects that.  Fix the grammar.

* val          = { / [^,]* / | ',,' }

  Use + instead of *.  Accepts the same language.

* val-no-key   = / [^=,]* /

  The code rejects an empty value.  Fix the grammar.

* Section "Additional syntax for use with an implied key" is
  confusing.  Rewrite it.

Add a test for "val,,ue" with implied key.  Documentation says this
should parse as implied key with value "val", then fail.  The code
parses it as implied key with value "val,ue", then succeeds.  The next
commit will fix it.

From: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

The previous commit demonstrated documentation and code disagree on
parsing of ',' in the value of an implied key.  Fix the code to match
the documentation.

This breaks uses of keyval_parse() that pass an implied key and accept
a value containing ','.  None of the existing uses does:

* audiodev: implied key "driver" is enum AudiodevDriver, none of the
  values contains ','

* display: implied key "type" is enum DisplayType, none of the values
  contains ','

* blockdev: implied key "driver is enum BlockdevDriver, none of the
  values contains ','

* export: implied key "type" is enum BlockExportType, none of the
  values contains ','

* monitor: implied key "mode" is enum MonitorMode, none of the values
  contains ','

* nbd-server: no implied key.

This adds a special meaning for 'help' and '?' as options to the keyval
parser. Instead of being an error (because of a missing value) or a
value for an implied key, they now request help, which is a new boolean
output of the parser in addition to the QDict.

A new parameter 'p_help' is added to keyval_parse() that contains on
return whether help was requested. If NULL is passed, requesting help
results in an error and all other cases work like before.

Turning previous error cases into help is a compatible extension. The
behaviour potentially changes for implied keys: They could previously
get 'help' as their value, which is now interpreted as requesting help.

This is not a problem in practice because 'help' and '?' are not a valid
values for the implied key of any option parsed with keyval_parse():

* audiodev: union Audiodev, implied key "driver" is enum AudiodevDriver,
  "help" and "?" are not among its values

* display: union DisplayOptions, implied key "type" is enum
  DisplayType, "help" and "?" are not among its values

* blockdev: union BlockdevOptions, implied key "driver is enum
  BlockdevDriver, "help" and "?" are not among its values

* export: union BlockExport, implied key "type" is enum BlockExportType,
  "help" and "?" are not among its values

* monitor: struct MonitorOptions, implied key "mode" is enum MonitorMode,
  "help" and "?" are not among its values

* nbd-server: struct NbdServerOptions, no implied key.

  To: qemu-block; +Cc: kwolf, peter.maydell, qemu-devel

This creates separate helper functions for printing a list of user
creatable object types and for printing a list of properties of a given
type. This will allow using these parts without having a QemuOpts.

The command line parser for --object parses the input twice: Once into
QemuOpts just for detecting help options, and then again into a QDict
using the keyval parser for actually creating the object.

Now that the keyval parser can also detect help options, we can simplify
this and remove the QemuOpts part.

We can only destroy Monitor objects after we're sure that they are not
in use by the dispatcher coroutine any more. This fixes crashes like the
following where we tried to destroy a monitor mutex while the dispatcher
coroutine still holds it:

The sheepdog mailing list is setup to stop and queue messages from
non-subscribers, pending moderator approval. Unfortunately it seems
that the moderation queue is not actively dealt with. Even when messages
are approved, the sender is never added to the whitelist, so every
future mail from the same sender continues to get stopped for moderation.

MAINTAINERS entries should be responsive and not unneccessarily block
mails from QEMU contributors, so drop the sheepdog mailing list.

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

This thread from a little over a year ago:

  http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/sheepdog/2019-March/thread.html

states that sheepdog is no longer actively developed. The only mentioned
users are some companies who are said to have it for legacy reasons with
plans to replace it by Ceph. There is talk about cutting out existing
features to turn it into a simple demo of how to write a distributed
block service. There is no evidence of anyone working on that idea:

  https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/commits/master

No real commits to git since Jan 2018, and before then just some minor
technical debt cleanup.

There is essentially no activity on the mailing list aside from
patches to QEMU that get CC'd due to our MAINTAINERS entry.

Fedora packages for sheepdog failed to build from upstream source
because of the more strict linker that no longer merges duplicate
global symbols. Fedora patches it to add the missing "extern"
annotations and presumably other distros do to, but upstream source
remains broken.

There is only basic compile testing, no functional testing of the
driver.

Since there are no build pre-requisites the sheepdog driver is currently
enabled unconditionally. This would result in configure issuing a
deprecation warning by default for all users. Thus the configure default
is changed to disable it, requiring users to pass --enable-sheepdog to
build the driver.
