[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] Allow VPC and VDI to be created over protocols

[Jeff Cody]

Changes from v1 -> v2:
    * Patch 2: Use'bs' instead of 'bs->file' (Max)
    * Patch 3: Same as patch 2 (ripple through)
    * Patch 5: Update VDI test for static image (Kevin)
    * Added Max's R-b to patches 1,3,4



This allows VPC and VDI to be created over protocols; currently, they use
posix calls directly to open, seek, and write into new image files.  This
obviously precludes them from being able to be created over a protocol, like
glusterfs.

Jeff Cody (5):
  block: allow bdrv_unref() to be passed NULL pointers
  block: vdi - use block layer ops in vdi_create, instead of posix calls
  block: use the standard 'ret' instead of 'result'
  block: vpc - use block layer ops in vpc_create, instead of posix calls
  block: iotest - update 084 to test static VDI image creation
