[PATCH v2 00/11] blockjobs: Fix transactional race condition

That series started trying to refactor blockjobs with the goal of
internalizing BlockJob state as a side effect of having gone through
the effort of figuring out which commands were "safe" to call on
a Job that has no coroutine object.

I've split out the less contentious bits so I can move forward with my
original work of focusing on the transactional race condition in a
different series.

Functionally the biggest difference here is the presence of "internal"
block jobs, which do not emit QMP events or show up in block query
requests. This is done for the sake of replication jobs, which should
not be interfering with the public jobs namespace.


I have v2 ready to send out correcting Kevin's comments in patch #01, but
I'd like to have the Replication maintainers at Fujitsu take a look at how I
have modified replication and at least 'ACK' the change.

As a recap: I am creating "internal" block jobs that have no ID and
therefore do not collide with the user-specified jobs namespace. This way
users cannot query, cancel, pause, or otherwise accidentally interfere with
the replication job lifetime.

It also means that management layers such as libvirt will not be aware of
the presence of such "internal" jobs.

Relevant patches are 1-3. Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks,
--John Snow


Looks good to me, once you address Kevin's comments in patch 1.


Excellent, gracias.
