How is this translate into HMP?
Markus says to start over, so lets see the dependencies:
Announce: Allawys there
announce-initial
announce-max
announce-rounds
announce-step
Osd compression (deprecated)
compress-level
compress-threads
compress-wait-thread
decompress-threads
cpu-throttles-initial
cpu-throottle-incroment
max-cpu-throotle
tls-creds
tls-hostname
tls-auth
Real params
max-bandwidth
downtime-limit
colo
x-checkpoint-delay
block-incremental
multifd-channels
xbzrle-cache-size
max-postcopy-bandwidth
New things:
- multifd method
- multifd-zlib-level
- multifd-zstd-level
What is a good way to define them?
Why do I ask, because the current method is as bad as it can be.
To add a new parameter:
- for qapi, add it in three places (as Markus said)
- go to hmp-cmds.c and do things by hand
- qemu_migrate_set_parameters
- migrate_params_check
- migrate_params_apply
(last three functions are almost identical in structure, not in
content).
So, if you can give me something that is _easier_ of maintaining, I am
all ears.
Later, Juan.
