[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] 9p: Fix file ID collisions

[Christian Schoenebeck]

This is v3 of a proposed patch set for fixing file ID collisions with 9pfs. 

That's it from my side for now regarding this overall issue. I am waiting for
your comments on this patch set before doing anything else.

Patch 1 to 4 are identical to the previous version. New patch 5 adds an
optional qemu virtfs device parameter "vii" (very important inode[s]) , which
allows host admins to configure which fs device(s) should get the largest inode
namespaces on guest.

I will also send a (6th) patch against libvirt which allows to configure the
"vii" feature of patch 5 via xml config instead of qemu command line argument.

I am yet unresolved whether or not to use persistency for file IDs that is
introduced with patch 3. After applying the entire patch set, the
persistency feature is disabled by default at compile time, but you can
enable it with macro QPP_TABLE_PERSISTENCY_LIMIT.

Christian Schoenebeck (5):
  9p: mitigates most QID path collisions
  9P: trivial cleanup of QID path collision mitigation
  9p: persistency of QID path beyond reboots / suspensions
  9p: use variable length suffixes for inode mapping
  9p: adds virtfs 'vii' device parameter
