Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qcow2: Alignment of snapshot table entries
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 10:34:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381307650-13799-1-git-send-email-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
The qcow2 specification does not explicitly state so far that every
snapshot table entry is aligned to 8 bytes. QEMU, in contrast, does this
alignment, thus it should be properly documented (which this patch
does).
