[PATCH 00/18] RFC: Remove deprecated audio features
Posted by Martin Kletzander 1 year, 11 months ago
I wanted to deal with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2043498 and I got a
suggesstion that removing deprecated features could actually make it
easier to propagate the error.  In the end (last patch) it turns out the
error is still just reported with error_fatal, so it probably is not
really needed, but I really wanted to dig into QEMU more and learn some
of the internals for quite some time now.  So I used the opportunity.
The one-liner ended up being an 18 patch series which was, for someone
who has just one commit in QEMU codebase, a pretty challenging task.
Although I tried my best to do things properly, I am not sure whether I
handled everything correctly, hence the RFC.

Any comments are very much appreciated.  Thanks and have a nice day ;)

Rebased and queued what's left...  It took a while. :)

Hi Martin,
The -soundhw removal looks good to me. I'm not familiar with the audio
subsystem so I didn't review the rest.

Thanks for the tidy-up! I'm not too familiar with the audio code, however one thing I 
noticed is that in patch 11 you are using qdev_prop_set_string() to set the audiodev 
for the machines.

For CharDevs there already exists a qdev_prop_set_chr() function which is used to 
assign the chardev backend to the device, so I'm wondering if it makes sense to add a 
similar qdev_prop_set_audiodev() function in the same way? Then if the method of 
referencing the audiodev from the device ever changes from being a string containing 
the name, it won't require updating all of the callers.

Finally a quick glance at the tsc210x and lm4549 devices indicates that they are 
using global device _init() functions which shouldn't really be used in modern 
implementations. If you are interested in QOMify-ing these devices as part of this 
work, then I can certainly help provide some pointers for getting started.


ATB,

Mark.

I guess that could be possible, but I'm not familiar with QEMU code much
and to be honest have no idea how I would go about doing that right now.

I thought about it for some devices.  Not all the devices I touched
here, because I feel like that would lead to a rabbit hole.  And 18
patches just because I wanted to error out in one condition was already
too much =)  But I'll be glad for any pointers on where to start and how
should I get to it.  Thanks.
