Hi, This is the v18 of the patchset. This version has the following changes:
[PATCH v18 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof & qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers - Does not clear fds/nfds when function is called exclusively to read fds without any data, which is a valid case. To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the Proof Of Concept patches before the BoF session in 2018. Subsequently, we have posted 17 versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following the links below ([1] - [17]). Following people contributed to the design and implementation of this project: Jagannathan Raman <jag.ra...@oracle.com> Elena Ufimtseva <elena.ufimts...@oracle.com> John G Johnson <john.g.john...@oracle.com> Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> Konrad Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com> Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatr...@oracle.com> We would like to thank the QEMU community for your feedback in the design and implementation of this project.
