[PATCH v19 00/20] Initial support for multi-process Qemu

[Jagannathan Raman]

Hi,

This is the v19 of the patchset. This version has the following changes:

[PATCH v18 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof &
                qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers
  - Preserved fds/nfds if the read was exclusively for fds. Clears then
    in all other cases.

To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the Proof Of Concept
patches before the BoF session in 2018. Subsequently, we have posted 18
versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following
the links below ([1] - [18]). Following people contributed to the design and
implementation of this project:
Jagannathan Raman <jag.raman@oracle.com>
Elena Ufimtseva <elena.ufimtseva@oracle.com>
John G Johnson <john.g.johnson@oracle.com>
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatraju@oracle.com>

We would like to thank the QEMU community for your feedback in the
design and implementation of this project. Qemu wiki page:

For the full concept writeup about QEMU multi-process, please
refer to docs/devel/qemu-multiprocess.rst. Also, see
docs/qemu-multiprocess.txt for usage information.

Thank you for reviewing this series!
