[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/6] Provide additional info through qemu-img info

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

qemu-img info provides only pretty general information about an image.
For any image format, there might be specific options which cannot be
represented in a universal way; for instance, qcow2 provides the
compatibility and lazy_refcount options whose values are certainly
interesting but currently cannot be output by qemu-img info.

Therefore, this series adds a new ImageInfoSpecific union type to
ImageInfo and BlockDriverInfo which may be used by block drivers as a
template for new types dedicated to the specific information they can
provide. It also adds support to qemu-img info and qemu-io -c info to
print the content of these specific structures.

v4:
 - changed dirty "grep -A 42" for grepping all lines until EOF in test
   064 to cleaner "sed -n '//,$p'" (patch 6)
 - rebased on Kevin's block branch (affects line numbers in patches 2, 3
   and 4 as well as the group file change in patch 6)

v3:
 - implemented Fam's remarks:
   - bdrv_get_info already initializes all fields to NULL, no need to do
     this manually (patch 2)
   - implemented bdrv_put_info as a wrapper to
     qapi_free_ImageInfoSpecific, though this may change with further
     extensions to BlockDriverInfo (patch 2)
   - changed one occurence of puts("foo") to printf("foo\n") in order to
     be consistent with the surrounding code (patch 3)
   - other patches (1, 4, 5, 6) remain unmodified

v2:
 - following Eric's recommendation: changed the representation of the
   format specific information from an uninterpreted blobbed string to a
   union of format specific types

Max Reitz (6):
  qapi: Add ImageInfoSpecific type
  block: Add ImageInfoSpecific to BlockDriverInfo
  block/qapi: Human-readable ImageInfoSpecific dump
  qcow2: Add support for ImageInfoSpecific
  qemu-iotests: Discard specific info in _img_info
  qemu-iotests: Additional info from qemu-img info
