[libvirt] [PATCH v1 0/5] Predictable file names for memory-backend-file

[Michal Privoznik]

As discussed here [1], for some types of environment it's important to
allocate memory upfront. In such cases libvirt needs to reuse the paths.
However, since we don't want to expose the paths anywhere, reversed
approach is implemented. If enabled in config file, libvirt builds
predictable paths for memory-backend-file.

As usual, you can also find all the patches on my github:

(Why v2? Don't ask.)
