[Qemu-devel] [RFC patch 0/3] block: pause block jobs for bdrv_drain_begin/end

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367369#c8

It's possible to wedge QEMU if the guest tries to reset a virtio-pci
device as QEMU is also using the drive for a blockjob. This patchset
aims to allow us to safely pause/resume jobs attached to individual
nodes in a manner similar to how bdrv_drain_all_begin/end do.

Kevin suggested a DevOps approach which I've approximated here, but
I've got a number of questions before I push the point any further.

John Snow (3):
  blockjob: add block_job_start_shim
  block-backend: add drained_begin / drained_end ops
  blockjob: add devops to blockjob backends
