[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V6 0/5] tests: Add the image fuzzer with qcow2 support

[Maria Kustova <maxa@catit.be>]

This patch series introduces the image fuzzer, a tool for stability and
reliability testing.
Its approach is to run large amount of tests in background. During every test a
program (e.g. qemu-img) is called to read or modify an invalid test image.
A test image has valid inner structure defined by its format specification with
some fields having random invalid values.

Patch 1 contains documentation for the image fuzzer, patch 2 is the test runner
and remaining ones relate to the image generator for qcow2 format.

This patch series was created for the 'block-next' branch.

v5 -> v6:
   * Moved the image fuzzer specification to the QEMU docs directory
   * Moved the runner.py to the image fuzzer root directory

Maria Kustova (5):
  docs: Specification for the image fuzzer
  runner: Tool for fuzz tests execution
  fuzz: Fuzzing functions for qcow2 images
  layout: Generator of fuzzed qcow2 images
  package: Public API for image-fuzzer/runner/runner.py
