[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] qmp: add block_stream command

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

This patch introduces the block_stream HMP/QMP command.  It is currently
unimplemented and returns the 'NotSupported' error.

block_stream
------------

Copy data from a backing file into a block device.

The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the
entire backing file has been copied.  This command returns immediately
once streaming has started.  The status of ongoing block streaming
operations can be checked with query-block-jobs.  The operation can be
stopped before it has completed using the block_job_cancel command.

If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base
file and its backing chain.  When streaming completes the image file
will have the base file as its backing file.  This can be used to stream
a subset of the backing file chain instead of flattening the entire
image.

On successful completion the image file is updated to drop the backing
file.

Arguments:

- device: device name (json-string)
- base:   common backing file (json-string, optional)

Errors:

DeviceInUse:    streaming is already active on this device
DeviceNotFound: device name is invalid
NotSupported:   image streaming is not supported by this device

Events:

On completion the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is raised with the following
fields:

- type:     job type ("stream" for image streaming, json-string)
- device:   device name (json-string)
- end:      maximum progress value (json-int)
- position: current progress value (json-int)
- speed:    rate limit, bytes per second (json-int)
- error:    error message (json-string, only on error)

The completion event is raised both on success and on failure.  On
success position is equal to end.  On failure position and end can be
used to indicate at which point the operation failed.

On failure the error field contains a human-readable error message.
There are no semantics other than that streaming has failed and clients
should not try to interpret the error string.

Examples:

-> { "execute": "block_stream", "arguments": { "device": "virtio0" } }
<- { "return":  {} }
