Hi, as part of my blockdev-reopen work here's a new set of patches. This doesn't implement yet the core functionality of the new reopen command, but it does fix a few things that help us pave the way. I believe that the next series after this one will be the last.
The main change is the removal of child references from the options and explicit_options QDicts. This was already discussed in the previous series[1], and here's the implementation. Regards, Berto [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2018-08/msg00474.html v2: - Patches 3 and 5: Make comments more explicit. [Max] - Patch 6: Use qemu_opts_to_qdict() in bdrv_reopen_prepare() to put all unprocessed options back into the QDict. [Max] - Patches 8-10: Use qemu_opt_get_del() and update commit messages to reflect the changes in patch 6.
