Hi all! On the way of backup schemes development (and in general any complicated developments in Qemu block layer) it would be good to have an ability to print out graph of block nodes with their permissions.
v4: 01: fix !name -> !*name for checking the result of blk_name rename BlockGraph -> XDbgBlockGraph, to not occupy such a generic name for x-debug command, correspondingly switch dbg_ prefix for functions to xdbg_, add xdbg_ into bdrv_get_{xdbg_}block_graph too. v4: 01: - improve documentation and graph node type names - parentheses in macro - s/hash/graph_nodes - add dbg_ prefix to graph functions - free leaked gr in dbg_graph_finalize() - use uintptr_t and "!= 0" for hash keys, add comment about reserved 0 key - add const specifier for permissions array and iterator, add static on permissions array size - fall back to blk_get_attached_dev_id() for block-backend nodes if blk_name() returns NULL 02: - add a-b by Eduardo and r-b by Max - change graph node type names (rebase on 01 change) v3: again, major rework, after long discussion with Max: - start creating graph looping through blk's and block jobs, don't use opaque - don't export pointers, generate ids instead (graphical representation didn't significantly changed, you can look at the picture, attached to v2 cover-letter) v2: major rework: Identifying non-bds nodes by their description was a bad idea, descriptions are not guaranteed to be different for different nodes. So, the only way is use pointer to identify them. And to be unique, let's use pointers to identify all the nodes in the graph. As additional benefit, we have pointers for each node, which is good for debugging (imagine a gdb session).
