[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] blockjob: kick jobs on set-speed

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

If users set an unreasonably low speed (like one byte per second), the
calculated delay may exceed many hours. While we like to punish users
for asking for stupid things, we do also like to allow users to correct
their wicked ways.

When a user provides a new speed, kick the job to allow it to recalculate
its delay.

RFC: Why is block_job_mutex shared between all jobs,
     instead of being per-job?
