qemu_rbd_parse_filename() builds a keypairs QList, converts it to JSON, and stores the resulting QString in a QDict. qemu_rbd_co_create_opts() and qemu_rbd_open() get the QString from the QDict, pass it to qemu_rbd_set_keypairs(), which converts it back into a QList. Drop both conversions, store the QList instead. This affects output of qemu-img info. Before this patch: $ qemu-img info rbd:rbd/testimg.raw:mon_host=192.168.15.180:rbd_cache=true:conf=/tmp/ceph.conf [junk printed by Ceph library code...] image: json:{"driver": "raw", "file": {"pool": "rbd", "image": "testimg.raw", "conf": "/tmp/ceph.conf", "driver": "rbd", "=keyvalue-pairs": "[\"mon_host\", \"192.168.15.180\", \"rbd_cache\", \"true\"]"}} [more output, not interesting here] After this patch, we get image: json:{"driver": "raw", "file": {"pool": "rbd", "image": "testimg.raw", "conf": "/tmp/ceph.conf", "driver": "rbd", "=keyvalue-pairs": ["mon_host", "192.168.15.180", "rbd_cache", "true"]}} The value of member "=keyvalue-pairs" changes from a string containing a JSON array to that JSON array. That's an improvement of sorts. However: * Should "=keyvalue-pairs" even be visible here? It's supposed to be purely internal...
I'd argue that since it is supposed to be internal (as evidenced by the leading '=' that does not name a normal variable), changing it doesn't hurt stability. But yes, it would be nicer if we could filter it entirely so that it does not appear in json: output, if it doesn't truly affect the contents that the guest would see.
* Is this a stable interface we need to preserve, warts and all?
I hope not.

I'm not yet convinced if we want this patch for 3.0 without more comments from the RBD experts, nor do I see too much of an issue if this doesn't go in until 3.1. But as to the code changes itself, I find them nice.
