Subject: [PATCH] qemu: reject rather than hang on blockcommit of active layer
44539d
44539d

qemu 2.0 added the ability to commit the active layer, but slightly
44539d
differently than what libvirt had been anticipating in its
44539d
implementation of the virDomainBlockCommit call.  As a result, if
44539d
you attempt to do a 'virsh blockcommit $dom vda', qemu gets into a
44539d
state where it is waiting on libvirt to end the job, while libvirt
44539d
is waiting on qemu to end the job, and the guest is effectively
44539d
hung with regards to further commands for that block device.
44539d
44539d
I have patches coming down the pipeline that will add full support
44539d
for blockcommit of the active layer when coupled with qemu 2.0 or
44539d
later; but they depend on Peter's improvements to block job handling
44539d
and form enough of a new feature that they are not ready for
44539d
inclusion in the 1.2.5 release.  So for now, just reject the
44539d
attempt, rather than letting the user get stuck.  This is no worse
44539d
than the behavior of qemu 1.7 rejecting the job.
