[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/12] covert savevm, loadvm and delvm into qapi

[Pavel Hrdina]

I'm sending patches for all commands in one patch series because the
savevm command depends on delvm command.

This patch series introduces new design of these commands:

* QMP vm-snapshot-save:
    - { 'command': 'vm-snapshot-save',
        'data': { 'name': 'str' },
        'returns': 'SnapshotInfo' }
    - vm-snapshot-save returns an error if there is an existing snapshot with
      the same name
    - you cannot provide an id for a new snapshot
    - all information about created snapshot will be returned

* QMP vm-snapshot-load
    - { 'command': 'vm-snapshot-load',
        'data': { '*name': 'str', '*id': 'str' },
        'returns': 'SnapshotInfo' }
    - one of the name or id must be provided
    - if both are provided they will match only the snapshot with the same name
      and id
    - returns SnapshotInfo only if the snapshot exists.

* QMP vm-snapshot-delete:
    - { 'command': 'vm-snapshot-delete',
        'data': { '*name': 'str', '*id': 'str' },
        'returns': 'SnapshotInfo' }
    - same rules as vm-snapshot-load

* HMP savevm:
    - args_type = "force:-f,name:s?",
    - if the name is not provided the HMP command will generates new one for QMP
      command
    - if there is already a snapshot with provided or generated name it will
      fails
    - there will be an optional -f parameter to force saving requested snapshot
      and it will internally use vm-snapshot-delete and then vm-snapshot-save
    - all information about created snapshot will be printed

* HMP loadvm:
    - args_type = "id:-i,name:s",
    - follow almost the same behavior as the QMP command (QMP command has two
      parameters but HMP command has one parameter with flag to switch between
      name and id)
    - it load snapshot that match the provided name
    - if an id flag is provided, it load snapshot that match the name parameter
      as an id of snapshot

* HMP delvm:
    - args_type = "id:-i,name:s"
    - same rules as loadvm

changes from v1:
    - patch for updating bdrv_snapshot_goto and bdrv_snapshot_list is split
      into two patches
    - fixes typos and grammar
    - vm-snapshot-delete and vm-snapshot-load now returns an error also if
      snapshot for delete or load not exists
    - all error messages starts with uppercase and are without trailing dot
    - updated error messages recording to comments
