docs/interop/qmp: Improve OOB documentation
OOB documentation is spread over qmp-spec.txt sections 2.2.1 Capabilities and 2.3 Issuing Commands. The amount of detail is a bit distracting there. Move the meat of the matter to new section 2.3.1 Out of band execution. Throw in a few other improvements while there: * 2.2 Server Greeting: Drop advice to search entire capabilities array; should be obvious. * 3. QMP Examples - 3.1 Server Greeting: Update greeting to the one we expect for the release. Now shows capability "oob". Update qmp-intro.txt likewise. - 3.2 Capabilities negotiation: Show client accepting capability "oob". - 3.7 Out-of-band execution: New.

@ -115,14 +105,38 @@ The format for command execution is:
|

- The "id" member is a transaction identification associated with the
|
||||
command execution. It is required for all commands if the OOB -
|
||||
capability was enabled at startup, and optional otherwise. The same
|
||||
"id" field will be part of the response if provided. The "id" member
|

can be any json-value, although most clients merely use a
|
||||
json-number incremented for each successive command
|
||||
- The "control" member is optional, and currently only used for
|
||||
out-of-band execution. The handling or response of an "oob" command
|
||||
can overtake prior in-band commands. To enable "oob" handling of a
|
||||
particular command, just provide a control field with: { "control":
|
||||
{ "run-oob": true } }
|
||||
"id" field will be part of the response if provided. The "id"
|
||||
member can be any json-value. A json-number incremented for each
|
||||
successive command works fine.
|
||||
- The optional "control" member further specifies how the command is
|
||||
to be executed. Currently, its only member is optional "run-oob".

See section "2.3.1 Out-of-band execution" for details.

2.3.1 Out-of-band execution
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The server normally reads, executes and responds to one command after
|
||||
the other. The client therefore receives command responses in issue
|
||||
order.
|
||||
|
||||
With out-of-band execution enabled via capability negotiation (section
|
||||
4.), the server reads and queues commands as they arrive. It executes
|
||||
commands from the queue one after the other. Commands executed
|
||||
out-of-band jump the queue: the command get executed right away,
|
||||
possibly overtaking prior in-band commands. The client may therefore
|
||||
receive such a command's response before responses from prior in-band
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
To execute a command out-of-band, the client puts "run-oob": true into
|
||||
execute's member "control".
|
||||
|
||||
If the client sends in-band commands faster than the server can
|
||||
execute them, the server will eventually drop commands to limit the
|
||||
queue length. The sever sends event COMMAND_DROPPED then.
|
||||
|
||||
Only a few commands support out-of-band execution. The ones that do
|
||||
have "allow-oob": true in output of query-qmp-schema.
