[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] dump: do not dump non-existent guest memory
Posted by Cornelia Huck 6 years, 7 months ago 
It does not really make sense to dump memory that is not there.

Moreover, that fixes a segmentation fault when calling dump-guest-memory
with no filter for a machine with no memory defined.

New behaviour is:

(qemu) dump-guest-memory /dev/null
dump: no guest memory to dump
(qemu) dump-guest-memory /dev/null 0 4096
dump: no guest memory to dump

We need to update test-hmp, as with this change dump-guest-memory will
do nothing with none machine, as by default memory size is 0 MB (I'm
working on that)

I thought Marc-André had proposed to be the maintainer? But indeed I
didn't see the line in maintainer file.

Anyway, if anyone think I am ok to maintain this single file
(considering that I haven't posted patches on it for 2 years, and I
haven't been working on any kind of maintainer job), please let me
know. I'm glad to start with it (or with Marc-André).

Thanks,

Let me try to draft a maintainer file change for this, to see whether
there are objections.  Thanks!

Now on to the most important question: Will you merge this patch? :)

(It should probably go together with "tests/hmp: test "none" machine
with memory".)

I posted a RFC to maintain this file with Marc-André Lureau, but not
getting any acks yet, so I guess at least I don't have that
permission, yet...

And I see Laruent posted this already:

  [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/4] hmp: fix "dump-quest-memory" segfault

So I assume all these four patches can go with Dave's tree.  Thanks,
