Hi This is the v16 of the patchset. Thank you for your time reviewing v15.
This version has the following changes: [PATCH v16 04/20] multi-process: Add config option for multi-process QEMU - Using “default_feature” value to enable/disable multiprocess [PATCH v16 07/20] io: add qio_channel_writev_full_all helper - Removed local variable in qio_channel_writev_full_all(), setting arguments directly - Fixed indentation issues - Updated commit message [PATCH v16 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof & qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers - Added two variants of readv - _full_all_eof & _full_all based on feedback - Dropped errno return value - Updated commit message - Unable to remove local variables and set arguments directly as the arguments are later needed for cleanup (g_free/close) during failure Switched to using OBJECT_DECLARE_{SIMPLE_TYPE, TYPE} macros in the following patches: - [PATCH v16 05/20] multi-process: setup PCI host bridge for remote device - [PATCH v16 06/20] multi-process: setup a machine object for remote device process - [PATCH v16 11/20] multi-process: Associate fd of a PCIDevice with its object - [PATCH v16 13/20] multi-process: introduce proxy object Updated copyright text to use the year 2021 in the files that show them.
