[Qemu-devel] [RFC v7 0/5] GlusterFS support in QEMU - v7

[Bharata B Rao]

Hi,

This is the v7 of the patchset to support GlusterFS backend from QEMU.

Changes in v7
-------------
- Added a few more patches to the patchset that are needed by gluster block
  driver: inet_parse and qemu_aio_count fixes.
- URI specification of gluster drive on QEMU cmdline has been changed.
  Updated parser routines and registering multiple block driver for
  each format now.
- Fixed a few bugs: qcow2 file creation on gluster backend, AIO completion
  handling, aio_cancel etc
- Addressed review comments from v6.
- Using inet_parse() to parse inet addresses instead of a separate
  parser in gluster driver.
- Support for .bdrv_get_allocated_file_size.
- Graceful recovery when gluster thread fails to notify QEMU thread on
  IO completion.
