[Qemu-block] [PATCH COLO-BLOCK v8 00/18] Block replication for continuous checkpoints

[Wen Congyang]

Block replication is a very important feature which is used for
continuous checkpoints(for example: COLO).

You can the detailed information about block replication from here:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/BlockReplication

Usage:
Please refer to docs/block-replication.txt

You can get the patch here:
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/tree/wency/block-replication-v8

You can get the patch with framework here:

TODO:
1. Continuous block replication. It will be started after basic functions
   are accepted.

Wen Congyang (18):
  Add new block driver interface to add/delete a BDS's child
  quorum: implement block driver interfaces add/delete a BDS's child
  hmp: add monitor command to add/remove a child
  introduce a new API qemu_opts_absorb_qdict_by_index()
  quorum: allow ignoring child errors
  introduce a new API to enable/disable attach device model
  introduce a new API to check if blk is attached
  block: make bdrv_put_ref_bh_schedule() as a public API
  Backup: clear all bitmap when doing block checkpoint
  allow writing to the backing file
  Allow creating backup jobs when opening BDS
  block: Allow references for backing files
  docs: block replication's description
  Add new block driver interfaces to control block replication
  skip nbd_target when starting block replication
  quorum: implement block driver interfaces for block replication
  Implement new driver for block replication
  Add a new API to start/stop replication, do checkpoint to all BDSes
