[Qemu-devel] [PULL 01/12] block/vxhs.c: Add support for a new block device type called "vxhs"

[Jeff Cody]

From: Ashish Mittal <address@hidden>

Source code for the qnio library that this code loads can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/VeritasHyperScale/libqnio.git

Sample command line using JSON syntax:
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -name instance-00000008 -S -vnc 0.0.0.0:0
-k en-us -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5
-msg timestamp=on
'json:{"driver":"vxhs","vdisk-id":"c3e9095a-a5ee-4dce-afeb-2a59fb387410",
"server":{"host":"172.172.17.4","port":"9999"}}'

Sample command line using URI syntax:
qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -n
/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/0c5eacd5ebea5ed914b6a3e7b18f1ce734c386ad
vxhs://192.168.0.1:9999/c6718f6b-0401-441d-a8c3-1f0064d75ee0

Sample command line using TLS credentials (run in secure mode):
./qemu-io --object
tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/etc/pki/qemu/vxhs,endpoint=client -c 'read
-v 66000 2.5k' 'json:{"server.host": "127.0.0.1", "server.port": "9999",
"vdisk-id": "/test.raw", "driver": "vxhs", "tls-creds":"tls0"}'
