Hi

This is the v15 of the patchset.
Thank you for your time reviewing v14.

This version has the following changes:

- [PATCH v15 08/20] multi-process: add qio channel read function
  Prevent memory leaks by closing file descriptors and freeing memory
  for fd array on failure in qio_channel_readv_full_all(..).

- The patch from v14 was dropped (See [PATCH v14 04/21] socket: export
  socket_get_fd() function) and instead the monitor_fd_param(..) and
  fd_is_socket(..) are used in the patches:
  [PATCH v15 11/20] "multi-process: Associate fd of a PCIDevice with its
  object"
  and
  [PATCH v15 13/20] "multi-process: introduce proxy object".

In addition, we will be sending a follow-up patch with the acceptance
test that can be used to verify that this feature is working correctly.


From the previous reviews the TODOs are:
- Prefix log messages with PID in the logging subsystem.
- Refactor the MemoryListener code in vfio-user and multi-process code
  to avoid logic duplication.

To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the Proof Of Concept
patches before the BoF session in 2018. Subsequently, we have posted 14
versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following the
links below ([1] - [14]). Following people contributed to the design and
implementation of this project:
Jagannathan Raman <jag.raman@oracle.com>
Elena Ufimtseva <elena.ufimtseva@oracle.com>
John G Johnson <john.g.johnson@oracle.com>
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatraju@oracle.com>

We would like to thank the QEMU community for your feedback in the
design and implementation of this project. Qemu wiki page:

For the full concept writeup about QEMU multi-process, please
refer to docs/devel/qemu-multiprocess.rst. Also, see
docs/qemu-multiprocess.txt for usage information.

Thank you for reviewing these series.
