This series makes the next step towards a QAPI interface that doesn't require clients to know about BlockBackends. By removing the support for 'id' from blockdev-add, it becomes a command that always only creates a BDS (with a node name). Existing interfaces have already been changed to accept node names everywhere and BlockBackends are created whenever they are needed.
The actual change is in the last patch and pretty trivial, but many test cases use blockdev-add to create a BlockBackend and must be updated first. v3: - Patch 8: Fixed whitespace error - Patch 9: Mention dropped cases in commit message - Patch 10: New: Fix NULL use for %s in error messages - Patch 11 (was 10): Update output after new patch 10 - Patch 12 (was 11): Remove 'id' from blockdev-add error message Remove spurious # characters in QAPI documentation v2: - Rebased on top of qmp-commands.hx removal Kevin Wolf (12): qemu-iotests/041: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/067: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/071: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/081: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/087: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/117: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/118: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/124: Avoid blockdev-add with id qemu-iotests/139: Avoid blockdev-add with id block: Avoid printing NULL string in error messages qemu-iotests/141: Avoid blockdev-add with id block: Remove BB interface from blockdev-add/del blockdev.c | 131 ++++++++-------------------- docs/qmp-commands.txt | 24 ++---- qapi/block-core.json | 30 ++----- tests/qemu-iotests/041 | 71 +++++++-------- tests/qemu-iotests/067 | 6 +- tests/qemu-iotests/067.out | 211 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ tests/qemu-iotests/071 | 8 +- tests/qemu-iotests/081 | 2 +- tests/qemu-iotests/085.out | 6 +- tests/qemu-iotests/087 | 62 ++----------- tests/qemu-iotests/087.out | 6 +- tests/qemu-iotests/117 | 4 +- tests/qemu-iotests/118 | 6 +- tests/qemu-iotests/124 | 17 ++-- tests/qemu-iotests/139 | 178 ++++++++++++-------------------------- tests/qemu-iotests/139.out | 4 +- tests/qemu-iotests/141 | 24 +++--- tests/qemu-iotests/141.out | 24 +++--- 18 files changed, 324 insertions(+), 490 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
