[PATCH v2 27/30] qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated interfaces

Markus Armbruster armbru at redhat.com
Tue Mar 3 16:35:02 UTC 2020


Policy is separate for input and output.

Input policy can be "accept" (accept silently), or "reject" (reject
the request with an error).

Output policy can be "accept" (pass on unchanged), or "hide" (filter
out the deprecated parts).

Default is "accept".  Policies other than "accept" are implemented
later in this series.

For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff
tagged with feature 'deprecated'.  We may want to extend it to cover
semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.

The option is experimental.
