About the host time, or about the guest time? In other words, doesn't this command exist for the host to ask the guest what time the _guest_ thinks it is, so that the host can then decide whether to issue a followup command to tell the guest to adjust its time? > +# > +# This command tries to get the host time which is > +# presumably correct, since need to be able to resynchronize > +# clock to host in guest. > +# > +# Returns: @HostTimeInfo on success. For that matter, should we name the type in patch 1/3 'TimeInfo', instead of 'HostTimeInfo', as it is not intrinsically tied to host or guest, but more a function of who is being queried?

No, this command is for getting host time. You might want to take a look at the RFC and the reply from Mike I sent few days ago for suggestions and discussions. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/186126 >> +# >> +# This command tries to get the host time which is >> +# presumably correct, since need to be able to resynchronize >> +# clock to host in guest. >> +# >> +# Returns: @HostTimeInfo on success. > For that matter, should we name the type in patch 1/3 'TimeInfo', > instead of 'HostTimeInfo', as it is not intrinsically tied to host or > guest, but more a function of who is being queried? Yes, it make sense. Luiz feel confused about this 'HostTimeInfo' too, I think 'TimeInfo' might be a good idea. :)

Is this correct? Okay, looks like this 'HostTimeInfo' brings a lots of confusion. I will change it to 'TimeInfo' as I replied to another patch. >> + >> + if (!host_time) { >> + error_set(errp, QERR_QGA_COMMAND_FAILED, "Failed to get host time"); >> + return NULL; >> + } >> + >> + return host_time; >> +} >> + >> typedef struct GuestFileHandle { >> uint64_t id; >> FILE *fh; >> diff --git a/qga/qapi-schema.json b/qga/qapi-schema.json >> index 7793aff..4a8b93c 100644 >> --- a/qga/qapi-schema.json >> +++ b/qga/qapi-schema.json >> @@ -100,6 +100,23 @@ >> 'utc-offset': 'int' } } >> >> ## >> +# @guest-get-time: >> +# >> +# Get the information about host time in UTC and the >> +# UTC offset. >> +# >> +# This command tries to get the host time which is >> +# presumably correct, since need to be able to resynchronize >> +# clock to host in guest. >> +# >> +# Returns: @HostTimeInfo on success. >> +# >> +# Since 1.4 >> +## >> +{ 'command': 'guest-get-time', >> + 'returns': 'HostTimeInfo' } >> + >> +## >> # @GuestAgentCommandInfo: >> # >> # Information about guest agent commands.

But that's exactly what we want, since it provides all the information the host needs to calculate what value it should pass to guest-set-time (really we just need the utc-offset for this, but the other values are useful for other use cases. In fact, if you document guest-*-time to always return values relative to UTC 1970 epoch, we don't even actually need *that* unless we need to change the guest utc-offset for some reason, but again, nice to handle other use cases) > > >>+# > >>+# This command tries to get the host time which is > >>+# presumably correct, since need to be able to resynchronize > >>+# clock to host in guest. > >>+# > >>+# Returns: @HostTimeInfo on success. > >For that matter, should we name the type in patch 1/3 'TimeInfo', > >instead of 'HostTimeInfo', as it is not intrinsically tied to host or > >guest, but more a function of who is being queried? > > Yes, it make sense.
