[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-2.7 0/8] blockdev: (Nearly) free clean-up work

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

After a lot has been restructed in the block layer in the past, we can
now reap at least one of the fruits: Make bdrv_open() return a BDS!


This series depends on the following series/patches:
- Revert "block: Forbid I/O throttling on nodes with multiple parents
  for 2.6"
  This is something I suppose Kevin will send when the 2.7 development
  window opens.
- "block: Move I/O throttling to BlockBackend" by Kevin
- "block: Remove BlockDriverState.blk" by Kevin


v2:
- Patch 1: bdrv_open_backing_file() has been changed already, so that
  part can be dropped from the patch
- Patch 2:
  - bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() now takes an additional argument
    (snapshot_options)
  - Drop a superfluous assignment to ret [Berto]
  - The function is now also static already, so we don't need to do that
- Patch 3: Added because this test has been added in the meantime
- Patch 4: Rebase conflicts
- Patch 6:
  - Rebase conflicts
  - A whole lot of places we no longer need to touch because they use
    blk_new_open() instead of bdrv_open()
- Patch 8: Added because patch 7 makes this possible.
