[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] blockjob: correct backup cluster size for backups

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Backups sometimes need a non-64KiB transfer cluster size.
See patch #2 for the detailed justificaton.

===
v4:
===

02: Polished the error message.

===
v3:
===

01: +R-B
02: Added failure mode for bdrv_get_info, including critical failure for when
    we don't have a backing file but couldn't retrieve the cluster_size info.

===
v2:
===

01: Removed "sectors_per_cluster" as a cached property of the Backup Block Job,
    In favor of recomputing it with a small function where needed.
    (I like v1 more. Thoughts?)
02: Expand correction to all backup modes instead of just incremental.
    Added credit: Thanks to Fam Z for noticing this problem!
03: Minor phrasing change in a comment.
    Added r-b.
