2018-05-30block/create: Mark blockdev-create stableKevin Wolf
We're ready to declare the blockdev-create job stable. This renames the corresponding QMP command from x-blockdev-create to blockdev-create. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>
2018-05-30block/create: Make x-blockdev-create a jobKevin Wolf
This changes the x-blockdev-create QMP command so that it doesn't block the monitor and the main loop any more, but starts a background job that performs the image creation. The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish more than very basic progress yet (total-progress is 1 and current-progress advances from 0 to 1 when the driver callbacks returns). These features can be added later without breaking compatibility. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>
2018-03-09block: x-blockdev-create QMP commandKevin Wolf
This adds a synchronous x-blockdev-create QMP command that can create qcow2 images on a given node name. We don't want to block while creating an image, so this is not the final interface in all aspects, but BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow2 and .bdrv_co_create() are what they actually might look like in the end. In any case, this should be good enough to test whether we interpret BlockdevCreateOptions as we should.
