Hi! Any plans on v5? Now I have a request for this feature.. If no plans, I can take care of it and make a v5

This is NOT the final version of this patch series, but I'm posting it to revive conversation on the topic while fixing it to compile on top of meson changes. v3 was:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-06/msg06258.html 001/5:[0025] [FC] 'block: add bitmap-populate job' 002/5:[----] [--] 'blockdev: combine DriveBackupState and BlockdevBackupState' 003/5:[0004] [FC] 'qmp: expose block-dirty-bitmap-populate' 004/5:[----] [--] 'iotests: move bitmap helpers into their own file' 005/5:[----] [-C] 'iotests: add 298 for block-dirty-bitmap-populate' I'm still trying to find the right QAPI contract (affects patch 1 and 3 for the qapi, and 5 for invoking the command in iotests), but right now, I'm leaning towards: { "execute": "block-dirty-bitmap-populate", "arguments": { "job-id": "job0", "node": "target_node", "name": "target_bitmap", "sources": [ { "pattern": "allocation", "node": "from_node" } ] } } which allows expansion into multiple sources, so that we can combine a populate action with a bitmap merge rather than having to do those as separate commands, like: { "execute": "block-dirty-bitmap-populate", "arguments": { "job-id": "job0", "node": "target_node", "name": "target_bitmap", "sources": [ { "pattern": "allocation", "node": "from_node" }, { "pattern": "bitmap", "node": "from_node", "bitmap": "from_bitmap" } ] } }
