Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] add add-cow file format
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:34:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EA8ED5E.5020502@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Looks good to me.  A nit, it seems that bdrv_flush is not supported 
anymore in upstream.
bdrv_co_flush should be used instead if you update your workspace to 
latest one.
