guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably
obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a
partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence"
due to reboot, forced restart, etc).
qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede
their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which
qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can
reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving
the guest-sync request.
guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when
a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response
with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its
buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the
guest-sync-delimited response.
It is also useful as an optimization for clients, since, after issuing a
guest-sync-delimited, clients can safely discard all stale data read
from the channel until the 0xFF is found.

This command returns an array of:
[ifname, hwaddr, [ipaddr, ipaddr_family, prefix] ]
for each interface in the system.
Currently, only IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

As the command name implies, this command suspends the guest to disk.
The suspend operation is implemented by two functions: bios_supports_mode()
and guest_suspend(). Both functions are generic enough to be used by
other suspend modes (introduced by next commits).
Both functions will try to use the scripts provided by the pm-utils
package if it's available. If it's not available, a manual method,
which consists of directly writing to '/sys/power/state', will be used.
To reap terminated children, a new signal handler is installed in the
parent to catch SIGCHLD signals and a non-blocking call to waitpid()
is done to collect their exit statuses. The statuses, however, are
discarded.
The approach used to query the guest for suspend support deserves some
explanation. It's implemented by bios_supports_mode() and shown below:
qemu-ga
|
create pipe
|
fork()
-----------------
| |
| |
| fork()
| --------------------------
| | |
| | |
| | exec('pm-is-supported')
| |
| wait()
| write exit status to pipe
| exit
|
read pipe
This might look complex, but the resulting code is quite simple.
The purpose of that approach is to allow qemu-ga to reap its children
(semi-)automatically from its SIGCHLD handler.
Implementing this the obvious way, that's, doing the exec() call from
the first child process, would force us to introduce a more complex way
to reap qemu-ga's children. Like registering PIDs to be reaped and
having a way to wait for them when returning their exit status to
qemu-ga is necessary. The approach explained above avoids that complexity.

Document guest agent schema types in similar fashion to qmp schema
types.

Not that there is blacklisting functionality we can no longer infer
the agent's capabilities via version. This patch extends the current
guest-info RPC to also return a list of dictionaries containing the name
of each supported RPC, along with a boolean indicating whether or not
the command has been disabled by a guest administrator/distro.

This adds the initial set of QMP/QAPI commands provided by the guest
agent:
guest-sync
guest-ping
guest-info
guest-shutdown
guest-file-open
guest-file-read
guest-file-write
guest-file-seek
guest-file-flush
guest-file-close
guest-fsfreeze-freeze
guest-fsfreeze-thaw
guest-fsfreeze-status
The input/output specification for these commands are documented in the
schema.
Example usage:
host:
qemu -device virtio-serial \
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/vs0.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 \
-device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.quest_agent.0
...
echo "{'execute':'guest-info'}" | socat stdio unix-connect:/tmp/qga0.sock
guest:
qemu-ga -m virtio-serial -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \
-p /var/run/qemu-guest-agent.pid -d
