Hi, During "[PATCH v2 05/10] qom/globals: generalize object_property_set_globals()" review, Eduardo suggested to rework the GlobalProperty handling, so that -global is limited to QDev only and we avoid mixing the machine compats and the user-provided -global properties (instead of generalizing -global to various object kinds, like I proposed in v2).
"qdev: do not mix compat props with global props" patch decouples a bit user-provided -global from machine compat properties. This allows to get rid of "user_provided" and "errp" fields in following patches. A new compat property "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" is added to hostmem for legacy canonical path names, set to true for -file and -memfd with qemu < 4.0. (this series was initially titled "[PATCH v2 00/10] hostmem: use object "id" for memory region name with >= 3.1", but its focus is more in refactoring the global and compatilibity properties handling now) v7: - rebased (s390 conflicts) - rename self/backend in last patch - add some r-b tags v6: - split "hw: apply machine compat properties without touching globals" - replace PC_COMPAT_* and HW_COMPAT_* defines with static arrays - add ARMCPUInfo *info in ARMCPUClass for "arm: replace instance_post_init()" patch - rebased, commit message updates, add some r-b tags v5: - replace the SET_COMPAT macros, use normal function instead (suggested by Eduardo) - replace the TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS interface approach for explicit object_apply_compat_props(), solving post-init ordering issues. - get back to coupling compat properties with machine, in qdev (although there is still some discussion how to improve this, it can be changed later) - mark the "arm: replace instance_post_init()" as RFC, since it is not longer required for this series - change machines version from 3.2 to 4.0 - add some r-b tags v4: - fix accel/machine compat props apply order inversion - split "qdev: do not mix compat props with global props": replace using current_machine by new compat_props global, introduce SET_COMPAT() macro, use GPtrArray. - add a comment about "qdev-props: call object_apply_global_props()" error reporting - add "arm: replace instance_post_init()", to solve the post-init ordering issue - add "hw/arm/virt: add virt-3.2 machine type" for completeness - commit message improvements - rebased, add r-b tags v3: - GlobalProperties improvements/cleanups - drop generalizing the -global idea - "replace" the set_globals flag with a TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS interface - update hw/i386 machine version to 3.2 - add "qom: make interface types abstract" interface cleanup v2: - replace "qom/user-creatable: add a few helper macros" patch for a more optimized "qom: make user_creatable_complete() specific to UserCreatable" - rename register_global_list() to register_global_properties() - call object_property_set_globals() after post-init - add and use a ObjectClass.set_globals flag, instead of dynamically check object class in object_property_set_globals() - use object "id" in >= 3.1 instead of canonical path, add compat property "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" in base hostmem class.
