PATCH v5 1/4 block: rename BlockdevSnapshot to BlockdevSnapshotSync

In reply to Alberto Garcia

We will introduce the 'blockdev-snapshot' command that will require its own struct for the parameters, so we need to rename this one in order to avoid name clashes.

PATCH v5 2/4 block: support passing 'backing': '' to 'blockdev-add'

In reply to Alberto Garcia

Passing an empty string allows opening an image but not its backing file. This was already described in the API documentation, only the implementation was missing.

This is useful for creating snapshots using images opened with blockdev-add, since they are not supposed to have a backing image before the operation.

v5 cover Add 'blockdev-snapshot' command

This fixes the problem detect by Fam: the previous series was deleting the 'backing' option for 'blockdev-add' even if it contained a non-empty string.

The code is also rebased on top of the current master. In particular the test output had to be adapted because of fe646693.

Again, this depends on Max's BlockBackend and media series:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2015-07/msg00382.html

Berto

v5:
- Don't delete the 'backing' option if it contains something different from an empty string.
- Rebase on top of the current master.

v4: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2015-09/msg00372.html
- Implement the support for 'backing': '', drop 'ignore-backing', and update iotest 085 accordingly.
- Include sample 'blockdev-add' call in the 'blockdev-snapshot' documentation.
- Clarify that the snapshot must not have a backing file in the BlockdevSnapshot documentation.
- Update error message ("...node name already existing" -> "...exists").

v3: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2015-09/msg00272.html
- Add 'ignore-backing' field to BlockdevOptionsGenericCOWFormat. This allows opening images but not their backing images.
- Check for op blockers in the snapshot node and make sure that it doesn't have any backing image.
- Remove extra check for the existence of the snapshot node:
bdrv_open() already does that.
- Extend iotest 085 to add tests for 'blockdev-snapshot'.
- Replace local_err with errp in some places where the former is unnecessary.
- Update command description.
- Add 'since' tag to the 'blockdev-snapshot' field in TransactionAction.

v2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2015-09/msg00094.html
- Add 'blockdev-snapshot' command instead of allowing passing options to 'blockdev-snapshot-sync'.
- Rename BlockdevSnapshot to BlockdevSnapshotSync

v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2015-08/msg00236.html

Alberto Garcia (4):

PATCH v5 3/4 block: add a 'blockdev-snapshot' QMP command

One of the limitations of the 'blockdev-snapshot-sync' command is that it does not allow passing BlockdevOptions to the newly created snapshots, so they are always opened using the default values.

Extending the command to allow passing options is not a practical solution because there is overlap between those options and some of the existing parameters of the command.

This patch introduces a new 'blockdev-snapshot' command with a simpler
interface: it just takes two references to existing block devices that will be used as the source and target for the snapshot.

Since the main difference between the two commands is that one of them creates and opens the target image, while the other uses an already opened one, the bulk of the implementation is shared.

This fixes the problem detect by Fam: the previous series was deleting the 'backing' option for 'blockdev-add' even if it contained a non-empty string.

The code is also rebased on top of the current master. In particular the test output had to be adapted because of fe646693.

Again, this depends on Max's BlockBackend and media series:

v5:
- Don't delete the 'backing' option if it contains something different from an empty string.
- Rebase on top of the current master.

Oops, I added some review comments on v4 before seeing that you had already posted v5. I have some potential naming changes to 3/4 that should be considered (namely, s/snapshot/overlay/ for the name of the node that is being added to the chain); and which may necessitate a v6.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 2/4] block: support passing 'backing': '' to 'blockdev-add'

In reply to Alberto Garcia
Quoted 4 lines · Alberto Garcia

Passing an empty string allows opening an image but not its backing file. This was already described in the API documentation, only the implementation was missing.

Quoted 8 lines

This is useful for creating snapshots using images opened with blockdev-add, since they are not supposed to have a backing image before the operation.
