As stated in the RFC I sent two weeks ago: * Node level commands: We need to complete the conversion that makes commands accept node names instead of BlockBackend names. In some places we intentionally allow only BlockBackends because we don't know if the command works in other places than the root. This is okay, but we can accept node names anyway. We just need to check that the node is a root node as expected.
This part of the RFC is implemented by this series. v5: - Sent separate patch "block: Accept any target node for transactional blockdev-backup" and rebased this series on it [Max] - Check bdrv_is_inserted() in qmp_get_root_bs() [Max] - Resolved merge conflicts with QAPI boxed type conversion v4: - Changed the way to decide whether a root-node-only QMP command is allowed on a specific node. Instead of checking that it has a BB on top, the new check is that there is no non-BB parent on top. This allows using unattached nodes. - Fixed incorrect documentation change for block-commit [Eric] v3: - Now with updated documentation Kevin Wolf (11): block: Accept node-name for block-stream block: Accept node-name for block-commit block: Accept node-name for blockdev-backup block: Accept node-name for blockdev-mirror block: Accept node-name for blockdev-snapshot-delete-internal-sync block: Accept node-name for blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync block: Accept node-name for change-backing-file block: Accept node-name for drive-backup block: Accept node-name for drive-mirror nbd-server: Use a separate BlockBackend nbd-server: Allow node name for nbd-server-add block.c | 2 + block/block-backend.c | 16 ++++ blockdev-nbd.c | 21 ++--- blockdev.c | 197 ++++++++++++++--------------------------- include/block/nbd.h | 3 +- include/sysemu/block-backend.h | 1 + nbd/server.c | 25 ++++-- qapi/block-core.json | 24 ++--- qapi/block.json | 14 +-- qemu-nbd.c | 4 +- qmp-commands.hx | 25 +++--- tests/qemu-iotests/030 | 2 +- tests/qemu-iotests/041 | 8 +- tests/qemu-iotests/055 | 7 +- tests/qemu-iotests/057 | 4 +- 15 files changed, 161 insertions(+), 192 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
