"tpm-options" is a discriminated union.  How is its discriminator "type"
(here: "tpm-passthrough-options") related to the outer "type" (here:
"passthrough")?

It gives you similar information twice. So there is a direct 
relationship between the two types.

The sample above could be the result when the following command line 
options are in effect:

qemu-system-x86_64
   -tpmdev 
passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0,cancel-path=/sys/class/misc/tpm0/device/cancel
   -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0

Awkward and undocumented.

Relevant parts of qapi-schema.json:

    { 'enum': 'TpmType', 'data': [ 'passthrough' ] }

    { 'union': 'TpmTypeOptions',
       'data': { 'tpm-passthrough-options' : 'TPMPassthroughOptions' } }

    { 'type': 'TPMInfo',
      'data': {'id': 'str',
               'model': 'TpmModel',
               'type': 'TpmType',
               'tpm-options': 'TpmTypeOptions' } }

Type Netdev solves the same problem more elegantly:

    { 'union': 'NetClientOptions',
      'data': {
        'none':     'NetdevNoneOptions',
        'nic':      'NetLegacyNicOptions',
        'user':     'NetdevUserOptions',
        'tap':      'NetdevTapOptions',
        'socket':   'NetdevSocketOptions',
        'vde':      'NetdevVdeOptions',
        'dump':     'NetdevDumpOptions',
        'bridge':   'NetdevBridgeOptions',
        'hubport':  'NetdevHubPortOptions' } }

    { 'type': 'Netdev',
      'data': {
        'id':   'str',
        'opts': 'NetClientOptions' } }

Uses the union's discriminator.  Straightforward.

Following Netdev precedence, we get:

    { 'union': 'TpmTypeOptions',
      'data': { 'passthrough' : 'TPMPassthroughOptions' } }

    { 'type': 'TPMInfo',
      'data': {'id': 'str',
               'model': 'TpmModel',
               'opts': 'TpmTypeOptions' } }

Duplication of type is gone.  No need for documentation.

Since enum TpmType is used elsewhere, it still gets duplicated in the
union's discriminator.  Anthony, is there a way to name the implicit
discriminator enum type for reference elsewhere in the schema?

I can send a patch for this update if you'd like.

Are you saying it still gets duplicated with this fix?  I'm not sure 
what you mean.

A union in the schema implicitely defines an C enumeration type to be
used for its discriminator.  For instance, union TpmTypeOptions
implicitely defines this one:

    typedef enum TpmTypeOptionsKind
    {
        TPM_TYPE_OPTIONS_KIND_TPM_PASSTHROUGH_OPTIONS = 0,
        TPM_TYPE_OPTIONS_KIND_MAX = 1,
    } TpmTypeOptionsKind;

QAPI's discriminated union becomes a C struct containing the
discriminator and the union of the members:

    struct TpmTypeOptions
    {
        TpmTypeOptionsKind kind;
        union {
            void *data;
            TPMPassthroughOptions * tpm_passthrough_options;
        };
    };

Enum TpmType and type TpmInfo become:

    typedef enum TpmType
    {
        TPM_TYPE_PASSTHROUGH = 0,
        TPM_TYPE_MAX = 1,
    } TpmType;

    struct TPMInfo
    {
        char * id;
        TpmModel model;
        TpmType type;
        TpmTypeOptions * tpm_options;
    };

With the change I propose, TPM_TYPE_OPTIONS_KIND_TPM_PASSTHROUGH_OPTIONS
becomes TPM_TYPE_OPTIONS_KIND_TPM_PASSTHROUGH, and TPMInfo member type
goes away.

Because TpmType is still used elsewhere, it doesn't go away, thus still
duplicates TpmTypeOptionsKind.  My question to Anthony was about ways to
avoid that remaining bit of duplication.  I don't expect you do answer
it :)

Ok well thanks for the explanation anyway!
