[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/5] block/qcow2: Image file option amendment

[Max Reitz]

This series adds support to qemu-img, block and qcow2 for amending image
options on existing image files.

Depends on:
 - option: Add assigned flag to QEMUOptionParameter
 - qcow2-refcount: Snapshot update for zero clusters (series, v3)
 - Add metadata overlap checks (series, v5)

v4:
 - rebased on the metadata overlap check series (and fit to it)
 - split patch 2 into three distinct patches (2, 3 and 4)
 - extended test for zero expansion on backed and inactive backed clusters
   (and fixed according to the metadata overlap check series (i.e.,
   adjusted header length))
 - fixed zero expansion with shared L2 tables

v3:
 - deallocate non-preallocated zero clusters on non-backed images instead
   of zero expanding them
 - qcow2 version downgrade: error out on refcount_order != 4
 - implemented Eric's comments regarding the qemu-img amend and img_amend
   itself

v2:
 - Generally implemented Kevin's comments, especially:
   - Zero cluster expansion for inactive L2 tables
   - Correct handling of preallocated zero clusters
   - More test cases

Max Reitz (5):
  block: Image file option amendment
  qcow2-cluster: Expand zero clusters
  qcow2: Save refcount order in BDRVQcowState
  qcow2: Implement bdrv_amend_options
  qemu-iotest: qcow2 image option amendment
