Hi,
QEMU at present can be started with a huge list of parameters, and only
a subset of these can be changed at runtime. For the remaining ones, one
needs to restart the qemu instance.
I've been trying to put together a list of some such parameters, which
would make good candidates for a runtime change. Request inputs on more
such parameters that could make it here, and also whether the following
are good-to-have features:
1. Allowing a runtime change from one chardev backend to another ( Eg,
from TCP socket to unix, and vice-versa )
2. Changing the network interfaces (from -net user to -net tap ? )
I'm presently aware of these; it would be good to get more inputs on
what more can be done here.
