Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] block: Expose block limits for images in QMP
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 14:30:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024123041.51254-3-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024123041.51254-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
This information can be useful both for debugging and for management
tools trying to configure guest devices with the optimal limits
(possibly across multiple hosts). There is no reason not to make it
available, so just add it to BlockNodeInfo.
