[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] block: Generic file creation fallback


From: Max Reitz
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] block: Generic file creation fallback
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:35:53 +0200

Hi,

Kevin commented on my RFC, so I got what an RFC wants, and he didn’t
object to the creation fallback part.  So I suppose I can go down that
route at least.  (Which was actually the more important part of the
series.)

So as in the RFC, this series adds a fallback path for creating files
(on the protocol layer) if the protocol driver does not support file
creation, but the file already exists.


v1 (as compared to the RFC):
- Changed patch 1 to match Kevin’s proposal
- Added patches 2 and 3 to replace the truncation fallback
- Changed patch 4 accordingly
- Added patches 5 and 6
- Truncated patch 7 (haha!), because there no longer is a truncation
  fallback, so we cannot test it.

I would like to note that the diff stat without patches 1 and 7 is
141+, 139-.  So this series is basically a net zero for our code size,
but it prevents future series that might add such pseudo-creation
support to other drivers but file-posix (for host devices) and iscsi
(e.g. I’m looking at you, nvme).


git-backport-diff against the RFC:

Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively
