[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] nbd: Use BlockBackend

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

>From the block layer's perspective, the nbd server is pretty similar to
a guest device. Therefore, it should use BlockBackend to access block
devices, just like any other guest device does.

This series consequently makes the nbd server use BlockBackend for
referencing block devices.


Max Reitz (5):
  block: Lift more functions into BlockBackend
  block: Add AioContextNotifier functions to BB
  block: Add blk_add_close_notifier() for BB
  nbd: Change external interface to BlockBackend
  nbd: Use BlockBackend internally
