[Qemu-block] [PATCH v3 00/11] Allow creating block jobs with a user-defined ID

[Alberto Garcia]

Hi all,

block jobs are currently identified by the name of the block backend
of the BDS where the job was started.

The problem with this is that you cannot have block jobs on nodes
where there is no such name.

This series turns the 'id' field of the BlockJob structure into an
actual ID, it guarantees that is unique and always present and allows
the user to set it.

v3:
- Instead of having separate 'id' and 'device' fields, use only the
  former. If the ID is not specified by the user it defaults to the
  device name to ensure backward compatibility.
- Patch 2:
  - Don't create a new field, simply update the description and the
    error messages. 
- Patch 4:
  - Now find_block_job() is simply a wrapper around block_job_get()
    that acquires the AioContext.
- Patch 5:
  - Allow setting the job ID but fall back to the device name if the
    user doesn't provide one. Fix the tests where the default ID was
    empty.
- Patches 10-14 [v2]:
  - These are no longer necessary, there's no need to add a new 'id'
    parameter to the 'block-job-*' QMP commands.
- Patch 10 [v3]:
  - Make img_commit() set a job ID
- Patch 11 [v3]:
  - Update the documentation of the QMP API to explain that the
   'device' field is now an actual ID.

v2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg06397.html
- Rebased on top of the current master
- Patch 2
  - Now that job->id no longer holds the device name, replace
    "The active block job for device '%s' cannot be completed"
    with "The active block job '%s' cannot be completed"
    in mirror_complete() and block_job_complete().
- Patch 4
  - Keep using ERROR_CLASS_DEVICE_NOT_ACTIVE in find_block_job() and
    change error path. [Max]
- Patch 6
  - Fix merge conflicts after 274fcce.
- Patch 9
  - Fix subject in commit message [Max]
- Patch 15
  - Update iotests 109 and 156 [Max]

v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg02438.html
- Initial release
