[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V7 0/2] Implement sync modes for drive-backup.

[Ian Main]

This patch adds sync modes on top of the work that Stefan Hajnoczi has done.

These patches apply on kevin/block.

Hopefully all is in order as this is my first QEMU patch.  Many thanks to
Stephan and Fam Zheng for their help.

V2:

- No longer poll, instead use qemu_coroutine_yield().
- Use bdrv_co_is_allocated().
- Much better SYNC_MODE_NONE test.

V3:

- A few style fixes.
- Better commit message explaining how TOP and NONE operate.
- Verified using checkpatch.pl.

V4:

- Add patch to use the source as a backing hd during backup.
- Add patch to default sync mode none to qcow2.

V5:

- Fix qcow2 patch.  Forgot to git add final version.

V6:

- Default to requiring 'format' when mode is absolute-paths.
- Removed one bad hunk that was misapplying.
- Fixed docs, examples and tests to match changes.
- Added tests for format bad/missing.
- Added bdrv_set_in_use() to target.
- Default to qcow2 patch not required.

V7:

- Stripped it down to just implementing TOP and NONE.
- Split tests apart so that most can still run without needing backing files.
- Fixed SYNC_MODE_TOP logic.  Yes we copy more than needed but that is always
  the case really.  It's just a question of how big a block you want to copy.


Ian Main (2):
  Implement sync modes for drive-backup.
  Add tests for sync modes 'TOP' and 'NONE'
