This series lets qmp interface show delaied info, including internal snapshot
/backing chain on all block device at runtime, which helps management stack and
human user, by retrieving exactly the same info of what qemu sees.
Example:
-> { "execute": "query-block" }
<- {
"return":[
{
"io-status": "ok",
"device":"ide0-hd0",
"locked":false,
"removable":false,
"inserted":{
"ro":false,
"drv":"qcow2",
"encrypted":false,
"file":"disks/test.qcow2",
"backing_file_depth":1,
"bps":1000000,
"bps_rd":0,
"bps_wr":0,
"iops":1000000,
"iops_rd":0,
"iops_wr":0,
"image":{
"filename":"disks/test.qcow2",
"format":"qcow2",
"virtual-size":2048000,
"backing_file":"base.qcow2",
"full-backing-filename":"disks/base.qcow2",
"backing-filename-format:"qcow2",
"snapshots":[
{
"id": "1",
"name": "snapshot1",
"vm-state-size": 0,
"date-sec": 10000200,
"date-nsec": 12,
"vm-clock-sec": 206,
"vm-clock-nsec": 30
}
],
"backing-image":{
"filename":"disks/base.qcow2",
"format":"qcow2",
"virtual-size":2048000
}
}
},
"type":"unknown"
},
{
"io-status": "ok",
"device":"ide1-cd0",
"locked":false,
"removable":true,
"type":"unknown"
},
{
"device":"floppy0",
"locked":false,
"removable":true,
"type":"unknown"
},
{
"device":"sd0",
"locked":false,
"removable":true,
"type":"unknown"
}
]
}
These patches follows the rule that use qmp to retrieve information,
hmp layer just does a translation from qmp object it got. To make code
graceful, snapshot and image info retrieving code in qemu and qemu-img are
merged into block layer, and some function names were adjusted to describe
them better. For the part touched by the series, it works as:
qemu qemu-img
dump_monitor dump_stdout

This series requires following series applied:
"[PATCH V3 0/4] qapi and snapshot code clean up in block layer",
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-05/msg03539.html
Special thanks for Markus, Stefan, Kevin, Eric reviewing many times.
V15:
Squash "add recursive member in ImageInfo" patch into 3/6.
Address Stefan's comments:
5/5: use bool instead of int for variable "verbose".
Wenchao Xia (5):
1 block: add snapshot info query function bdrv_query_snapshot_info_list()
2 block: add image info query function bdrv_query_image_info()
3 qmp: add ImageInfo in BlockDeviceInfo used by query-block
4 hmp: show ImageInfo in 'info block'
5 hmp: add parameters device and -v for info block
