This is quite hacky since it involves falling back to HMP when savevm
command is not found in QMP, which is something qemu monitor code was
not designed to support. Hence, I'm providing 2 version of the first
patch: 1.1/3 and 1.2/3.
- 1.1/3 version only touches JSON monitor code but involves copy&paste
of the snapshot code from text monitor
- 1.2/3 touches more files but doesn't require duplicating the text
monitor snapshot implementation into qemu_monitor_json.c. However, it
results in somewhat funky call graphs:
-> qemuMonitorJSONCreateSnapshot
-> qemuMonitorTextCreateSnapshot
-> qemuMonitorCommand (a macro expanding to qemuMonitorCommandWithFd)
-> qemuMonitorJSONHumanCommandWithFd
-> qemuMonitorJSONCommandWithFd
The possibility to call qemuMonitorTextCreateSnapshot directly on JSON
monitor is implemented by generalizing qemuMonitorCommandWithFd, which
now either calls to qemuMonitorJSONHumanCommandWithFd or
qemuMonitorTextCommandWithFd (former qemuMonitorCommandWithFd)
depending on the monitor type.
I prefer version 2 since it reuses text monitor implementation, but
other may prefer version 1, which is a bit more local...
