From: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.agu...@hds.com> [Problem] Currently, guest OS's messages can be logged to a local disk of host OS by creating chadevs with options below. -chardev file,id=charserial0,path=<log file's path> -device isa-serial,chardev=chardevserial0,id=serial0
When a hardware failure happens in the disk, qemu-kvm can't create the chardevs. In this case, guest OS doesn't boot up. Actually, there are users who don't desire that guest OS goes down due to a hardware failure of a log disk only. Therefore, qemu should offer some way to boot guest OS up even if the log disk is broken. [Solution] This patch supports startupPolicy for chardev. The starupPolicy is introduced just in cases where chardev is "file" because this patch aims for making guest OS boot up when a hardware failure happens. In other cases (pty, dev, pipe and unix) it is not introduced because they don't access to hardware. The policy works as follows. - If the value is "optional", guestOS boots up by dropping the chardev. - If other values are specified, guestOS fails to boot up.
