commit 96a5f8d770b2b52b82debff22ca7e61cf435c313
Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso at redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Feb 19 20:14:18 2013 -0500

    Rebased to version 1.4.0
    block: dataplane for virtio, potentially large performance improvment
    migration: threaded live migration
    usb-tablet: usb 2.0 support, significantly lowering CPU usage
    usb: improved support for pass-through of USB serial devices
    virtio-net: added support supports multiqueue operation

+Subject: [PATCH] char: Add framework for a 'write unblocked' callback
+
+The char layer can let users know that the driver will block on further
+input.  For users interested in not blocking, they can assign a function
+pointer that will be called back when the driver becomes writable.  This
+patch just adds the function pointers to the CharDriverState structure,
+future patches will enable the nonblocking and callback functionality.

+Subject: [PATCH] char: Update send_all() to handle nonblocking chardev write
+ requests
+
+The send_all function is modified to return to the caller in case the
+driver cannot handle any more data.  It returns -EAGAIN or
+WSAEWOULDBLOCK on non-Windows and Windows platforms respectively.  This
+is only done when the caller sets a callback function handler indicating
+it's not interested in blocking till the driver has written out all the
+data.
+
+Currently there's no driver or caller that supports this.  Future
+commits will add such capability.

+Subject: [PATCH] char: Equip the unix/tcp backend to handle nonblocking
+ writes#
+
+Now that the infrastructure is in place to return -EAGAIN to callers,
+individual char drivers can set their update_fd_handlers() function to
+set or remove an fd's write handler.  This handler checks if the driver
+became writable.
+
+A generic callback routine is used for unblocking writes and letting
+users of chardevs know that a driver became writable again.

+Subject: [PATCH] spice-qemu-char.c: add throttling
+
+BZ: 672191
+
+upstream: not submitted (explained below)
+
+Adds throttling support to spicevmc chardev. Uses a timer to avoid recursing:
+1. spice-server: reds.c:            read_from_vdi_port
+2. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: vmc_read
+3.                                  chr_write_unblocked
+                                (calls virtio_serial_throttle_port(port, false))
+4. qemu:         virtio ...
+5. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: spice_chr_write
+6. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: wakeup (calls into spice-server)
+7. spice-server: ...
+8. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: vmc_read
+
+Instead, in vmc_read if we were throttled and we are just about to return
+all the bytes we will set a timer to be triggered immediately to call
+chr_write_unblocked. Then we return after 2 above, and 3 is called from the
+timer callback. This also means we can later remove some ugly recursion protection
+from spice-server.
+
+The other tricky point in this patch is not returning the leftover chunk twice.
+When we throttle, by definition we have data that spice server didn't consume.
+It is being kept by virtio-serial, and by us. The next vmc_read callback needs
+to not return it, but just do unthrottling. Then virtio will give us the remaining
+chunk as usual in spice_chr_write, and we will pass it to spice server in the
+next vmc_read.
+
+This patch relies on Amit's series to expose throttling to chardev's, which
+was not accepted upstream, and will not be accepted upstream until the mainloop
+is reworked to use glib.

+Subject: [PATCH] spice-qemu-char.c: remove intermediate buffer
+
+BZ: 672191
+upstream: not submitted (explained below)
+
+virtio-serial's buffer is valid when it calls us, and we don't
+access it otherwise: vmc_read is only called in response to wakeup,
+or else we set datalen=0 and throttle. Then vmc_read is called back,
+we return 0 (not accessing the buffer) and set the timer to unthrottle.
+
+Also make datalen int and not ssize_t (to fit spice_chr_write signature).
+
+This relied on the previous patch that introduces throttling, which
+can't go upstream right now as explained in that patch.

+Subject: [PATCH] hw/virtio-serial-bus: replay guest open on destination
+
+This is rewrite of a patch carried in Fedora previously based
+on new code upstream, here is the original message, it still applies:
+(the original fedora patch was commit id
+a9bc20afc1f0604ee81c23b7c67d627e51d2e8d4, this is useful for grepping in
+logs, it isn't in upstream)
+
+When migrating a host with with a spice agent running the mouse becomes
+non operational after the migration. This is rhbz #725965.
+
+The problem is that after migration spice doesn't know the guest agent
+is open.  Spice is just a char dev here. And a chardev cannot query it's
+device, the device has to let the chardev know when it is open. Right
+now after migration the chardev which is recreated is in it's default
+state, which assumes the guest is disconnected.
+
+Char devices carry no information across migration, but the
+virtio-serial does already carry the guest_connected state. This patch
+passes that bit to the chardev.

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: Add --enable-migration-from-qemu-kvm
+
+This switch will turn on all the migration compat bits needed to
+perform migration from qemu-kvm to qemu. It's just a stub for now.
+
+This compat will break incoming migration from qemu < 1.3, but for
+distros where qemu-kvm was the only shipped package for years it's
+not a big loss (and I don't know any way to avoid it).

+
+qemu-kvm 1.2 advertised version_id=2, but it was not the same
+format as qemu.git version_id=2.
+
+commit b0b873a07872f7ab7f66f259c73fb9dd42aa66a9 added the qemu-kvm
+format to qemu.git, but was forced to call it version_id=3, and
+bumped minimum_version_id to 3. This breaks incoming migration from
+qemu-kvm.
+
+If --enable-migration-from-qemu-kvm is enabled, drop minimum_version_id
+to 2. Migration from qemu-kvm version_id=2 and qemu 1.3+ version_id=3
+works, but migration from qemu < 1.3 is broken.

+
+Paolo outlines this here:
+
+https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-01/msg02540.html
+
+qemu-kvm defaulted to vgamem=16MB since at least 0.15, while qemu used
+8MB. For qemu 1.2, the default was changed to 16MB for all devices
+except cirrus.
+
+If --enable-migration-from-qemu-kvm is specified, make sure cirrus
+uses 16MB for <= pc-1.2 (the qemu-kvm merge), and 16MB always for
+all others. This will break incoming qemu migration for qemu < 1.3.

+Subject: [PATCH] qxl: Add rom_size compat property, fix migration from 1.2
+
+Commit 038c1879a00153b14bce113315b693e8c2944fa9 changed the qxl rom
+size to 8192, which fixes incoming migration from qemu 1.0. However
+from qemu 1.2 and 1.3 had rom size 16384, so incoming migration
+from those versions is now broken.
+
+Add a rom_size compat property. 1.2 and 1.3 get 16384, everything
+else is 8192.
+
+This isn't actually fool proof, since rom_size can be dependent on
+the version of spice qemu is built against:
+
+https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-02/msg03154.html
+
+However these sizes match what native Fedora packages get, so it's
+good enough for now.
