* chardev: add a note about frontend sources and context switchMarc-André Lureau2019-02-131-0/+3

* chardev: fix mess in OPENED/CLOSED events when muxedArtem Pisarenko2019-02-121-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When chardev is multiplexed (mux=on) there are a lot of cases where CHR_EVENT_OPENED/CHR_EVENT_CLOSED events pairing (expected from frontend side) is broken. There are either generation of multiple repeated or extra CHR_EVENT_OPENED events, or CHR_EVENT_CLOSED just isn't generated at all. This is mostly because 'qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers()' function makes its own (and often wrong) implicit decision on updated frontend state and invokes 'fd_event' callback with 'CHR_EVENT_OPENED'. And even worse, it doesn't do symmetric action in opposite direction, as someone may expect (i.e. it doesn't invoke previously set 'fd_event' with 'CHR_EVENT_CLOSED'). Muxed chardev uses trick by calling this function again to replace callback handlers with its own ones, but it doesn't account for such side effect. Fix that using extended version of this function with added argument for disabling side effect and keep original function for compatibility with lots of frontends already using this interface and being "tolerant" to its side effects. One more source of event duplication is just line of code in char-mux.c, which does far more than comment above says (obvious fix).

* char: make chr_fe_deinit() optionaly delete backendMarc-André Lureau2017-06-021-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies removing a backend for a frontend user (no need to retrieve the associated driver and separate delete call etc). NB: many frontends have questionable handling of ending a chardev. They should probably delete the backend to prevent broken reusage.

* char: move CharBackend handling in char-fe unitMarc-André Lureau2017-06-021-0/+249
Move all the frontend struct and methods to a seperate unit. This avoids accidentally mixing backend and frontend calls, and helps with readabilty. Make qemu_chr_replay() a macro shared by both char and char-fe. Export qemu_chr_write(), and use a macro for qemu_chr_write_all() (nb: yes, CharBackend is for char frontend :) Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org>
