| H A D | qemu-file.c | 154d87b4 Mon Jun 20 11:01:49 GMT 2022 Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> migration: rename 'pos' field in QEMUFile to 'bytes_processed'
The field name 'pos' gives the misleading impression that the QEMUFile
objects are seekable. This is not the case, as in general we just
have an opaque stream. The users of this method are only interested
in the total bytes processed. This switches to a new name that
reflects the intended usage.
Every QIOChannel backed impl of QEMUFile is currently ignoring the
'pos' field.
The only QEMUFile impl using 'pos' as an offset for I/O is the block
device vmstate. A later patch is introducing a QIOChannel impl for the
vmstate, and to handle this it is tracking a file offset itself
internally to the QIOChannel impl. So when we later eliminate the
QEMUFileOps callbacks later, the 'pos' field will no longer be used
from any I/O read/write methods.
