this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.
This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.
I ran the following 2 tests on my internal SSD with a
50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage.
a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX

It seems to internally handle writing zeroes

Stefan Fritsch just fixed a virtio-net driver bug [1], virtio-net won't
filter out VLAN-tagged packets if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN isn't negotiated.
This patch added a new field to @RxFilterInfo to indicate vlan receive
state ('normal', 'none', 'all'). If VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN isn't
negotiated, vlan receive state will be 'all', then all VLAN-tagged packets
will be received by guest.
This patch also fixed a boundary issue in visiting vlan table.

Define input event types, using qapi. So we get nicely autogenerated
types for our input events. And when it comes to qmp support some day
things will be a lot easier.
Types are modeled after the linux input layer. There are separate
event types for each value. There is a sync to indicate the end
of a event group.
Mouse events are split into motion events (one for each axis) and
button events, which are grouped by sync.
Keyboard events are using the existing KeyValue type.

dump [-p] protocol [begin] [length] [format]
'format' is used to specified the format of vmcore and can be:
1. 'elf': ELF format, without compression
2. 'kdump-zlib': kdump-compressed format, with zlib-compressed
3. 'kdump-lzo': kdump-compressed format, with lzo-compressed
4. 'kdump-snappy': kdump-compressed format, with snappy-compressed
Without 'format' being set, it is same as 'elf'. And if non-elf format is

Note:
1. The kdump-compressed format is readable only with the crash utility and
makedumpfile, and it can be smaller than the ELF format because of the
compression support.

This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS
shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire
NFS share on the host.
NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form:
nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[¶m2=value2[&...]]]
For example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2
You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at:
git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git
for this to work.
During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support
is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support
with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively.
Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries
as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify
insecure option on the NFS server.
For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL
format + parameters see:
https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README
Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters.
LibNFS currently support NFS version 3 only.

This updates the documentation for commiting snapshot images.
Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image
is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed.
In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the
larger size of the snapshot image. In the case of the base image
being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit
has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap.
netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it
to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software
switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch
VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.
To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

Although qcow2 support storing multiple snapshots with same name

already exist before the operation. Format such as rbd do not support
ID at all, and in most case, it means trouble to user when he faces
