[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v12 00/17] block: incremental backup series

[John Snow]

Welcome to the "incremental backup" newsletter, where we discuss
exciting developments in non-redundant backup technology.

This patchset enables the in-memory part of the incremental backup
feature. There are two series on the mailing list now by Vladimir
Sementsov-Ogievskiy that enable the migration and persistence of
dirty bitmaps.

V12 has a lot of tiny changes from V11, so I've lost a lot of R-B
fields again. Sorry! For a fuller changelog, see the V11 cover letter
in the qemu-devel archives.

This series and most patches were originally by Fam Zheng.

Highlights:
 - Renamed "node-ref" parameter to "node" in all QMP patches.
   (A rose by any other name? ...)
 - Fuller, more robust iotests.
 - Fixed progress percentages for incremental backup jobs.
 - This patch relies upon a blkdebug fix, included as patch #16,
   but also posted separately on-list.

V12:
 - Changed authorship from Fam Zheng to John Snow on most patches
 - 02: Fix the error_setg leak in bdrv_dirty_bitmap_lookup
 -     Fix error phrasing in bdrv_dirty_bitmap_lookup
 -     Renamed "node-ref" to "node" for QMP commands.
 - 03: Granularity helper no longer requires a BDS argument.
 - 04: Return early if the second bitmap is empty.
 - 05: Renamed the 'enabled' field to 'disabled to emphasize what the
       default operating state is.
 -     We now guard against bit sets or resets with the bitmap is
       disabled, making it a more pure "read only" mode.
 -     Some documentation phrasing changes.
 - 06: Removed explicit "frozen" state in favor of an implicit one.
       A successor present implies a frozen state.
 -     Updated all functions that target a single bitmap to use
       assertions that the bitmap they are trying to modify is not
       frozen/disabled.
 -     Functions that target multiple bitmaps use only a conditional,
       and will silently skip disabled bitmaps.
 -     thaw() function removed. It is implicitly handled in reclaim
       and abdicate.
 -     Added check for return code of hbitmap_merge.
 -     Functions now check against enable OR disable when in frozen
       state, for consistency and simplicity.
 -     Add "frozen" state documentation to remove/enable/disable
       QMP commands.
 - 07: Some documentation for bdrv_set_dirty_iter.
 -     Move function calls outside of assert()
 -     Cleanup the unused successor if we do not start the backup
 -     Version documentation added for dirty-bitmap to block-core.json
 -     Job progress is now reported for incremental backup jobs.
 - 08: bdrv_dirty_bitmap_clear is now in its own patch, here.
 -     bdrv_dirty_bitmap_clear no longer takes a BDS argument.
 - 09: Added a transaction for bdrv_dirty_bitmap_clear.
 - 10: Change 'enabled' field to 'disabled' field, to match
       above decision in patch 05.
 - 12: Removed extraneous BDS arguments from most bitmap functions.
 - 13-15: New set of iotests.
 - 16: blkdebug fix, already posted upstream.
 - 17: Final iotest, testing failure case.
