Actually, the above is a simple scenario, and I want to apply a filter
to an overlay image as following.
1. Execute the QEMU process as in 1-1 or 2-1.
2. Run the command to create the overlay image
{"execute":"blockdev-snapshot-sync","arguments":{"node-name":
"qcow2-node", "snapshot-file":"/path/to/overlay.qcow2", "format":
"qcow2", "snapshot-node-name": "overlay-node"}}
3. run the blockdev-add command to apply filter
{
"execute":"blockdev-add",
"arguments":{
"driver": "throttle",
"node-name": "throttle-node2",
"throttle-group": "tg",
"file": "overlay-node"
}}
Sincerely,
