[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/11] block: Driver-specific options for protocols

[Kevin Wolf]

With this series applied...

* driver-specific command line options can be passed to protocols

* the protocol driver can be explicitly specified instead of being parsed from
  the file name; the file name can be left out if the protocol doesn't need it

* a new .bdrv_parse_filename callback parses filenames into option QDicts that
  are used for the real bdrv_open()

* NBD makes use of all of these feature so that you can now specify:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost

Kevin Wolf (11):
  block: Add options QDict to bdrv_file_open() prototypes
  block: Pass bdrv_file_open() options to block drivers
  qemu-socket: Make socket_optslist public
  nbd: Keep hostname and port separate
  nbd: Remove unused functions
  nbd: Accept -drive options for the network connection
  block: Introduce .bdrv_parse_filename callback
  block: Rename variable to avoid shadowing
  block: Make find_image_format safe with NULL filename
  block: Allow omitting the file name when using driver-specific options
  nbd: Use default port if only host is specified
