I'm not a virtualization expert, and it's likely some of my comments demonstrate that... You're going to need to update your copyright dates to include 2023 now. I haven't looked at the earlier reviews; perhaps the RFC stuff was requested. I'm sure it's useful to see that but it doesn't seem directly helpful if your goal is to get this code upstream. At this point I've reviewed only through patch 9. I currently have smallish blocks of time and I don't want to hold back my feedback for too long. -Alex > Changes in v8: > - Treat VM manager as a library of RM > - Add patches 21-28 as RFC to support

I do think it's easier for reviewers if you can divide up the code into a few smaller series, so reviewing each (sub-)series isn't such an overwhelming thing to consider. I've started looking (IN GREAT DETAIL) the RPC core code, and haven't gone much past that, so I don't have any guidance about how things could be structured. (I do appreciate that the early patches were small, and built things up gradually.) I personally try to keep my series to closer to 5-10 patches, though the maintainer(s) involved need to agree to accept the smaller series before the full functionality gets enabled when it's all accepted. You'll get (lots) more feedback from me on the remaining patches, eventually. If you decide to re-spin things soon I'd like to know your plan so I can review the latest when it's available. -Alex
