Commit Message

Laszlo Ersek Dec. 1, 2016, 5:06 p.m. UTC
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

Useful to send guest data back to QEMU.

Changes from Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>:
- rebase the patch from Michael Tsirkin's original postings at [1] and [2]
  to the following patches:
  - loader: Allow a custom AddressSpace when loading ROMs
  - loader: Add AddressSpace loading support to uImages
  - loader: fix handling of custom address spaces when adding ROM blobs
- reject such writes immediately that would exceed the end of the array,
  rather than performing a partial write before setting the error bit: see
  the (len != dma.length) condition
- document the write interface

Hi Laszlo,
The 'write' documentation is very helpful, thanks.
I would add that QEMU will 'use' the written values
when the guest selects another file (for reading),
that being protocol specific, of course.
But maybe is not connected directly.

I think it's not connected; it's a general characteristic that callbacks
are invoked at item selection.

Also, the data that a given callback consumes to produce the selected
item's new contents may or may not include any fw_cfg data written
previously (for example, with the ACPI linker/loader, the regenerated
contents are independent of any fw_cfg writes).

Thanks!

I'm about to rebase / rework this series; if this patch applies with at
most minor updates, I'll keep your R-b.

Cheers,
Laszlo
