[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 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 which may be used by block drivers as a template for new types
dedicated to the specific information they can provide, as well as a
function bdrv_get_specific_info for retrieving this information. It also
adds support to qemu-img info and qemu-io -c info to print the content
of these specific structures.

v5:
 - In consideration of Stefan's argument about bdrv_round_to_cluster
   being called in the I/O path, removed ImageInfoSpecific from
   BlockDriverInfo and introduced a new function bdrv_get_specific_info
   instead; this also removes the need for bdrv_put_info.
   Resulting changes in regard to the single patches:
    - patch 2: completely different
    - patch 3: qemu-io-cmds.c:info_f now needs to call
      bdrv_get_specific_info in order to receive the new information
    - patch 4: moved the creation of ImageInfoSpecific from qcow2_get_info
      (which now remains unmodified) to the new qcow2_get_specific_info
      function; additionally, register this function as
      bdrv_qcow2.bdrv_get_specific_info
 - rebased on Kevin's block branch, renamed test from 064 to 065 (to
   avoid conflict with his blockdev-add series; affects patch 6)
 - patches 1 and 5 remain unmodified

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
