[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/4] fix image fleecing

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all.

This fixes image fleecing scheme for 3.0, details are in 04 patch.

v3:
02: fix typo in assert, to fix build

v2:
01,02: new patches

03: - improve comment
    - fix assert in bdrv_aligned_pwritev
    - add asserts to not use the flag on read requests
    - support copy_range

04: - expand "detected cases" range 
    - s/fleecing/serialize_target_writes
    - support backup_cow_with_offload
    - drop restriction on compressed writes


v1 cover:

It's a continuation of discussion under
"[PATCH v2 2/3] block/fleecing-filter: new filter driver for fleecing" [1].

Here is my try to implement Kevin's idea, that all backup writes (for
fleecing case) should be serialized. (However, I've skipped for now
fixing related permissions).

Looks like these patches may replace patch [1], to make fleecing scheme
safe. But I'm not sure, a look by Kevin is necessary.

A test is still needed, to prove that this patch is necessary and that it
works..

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy (4):
  block: disallow BDRV_REQ_NO_SERIALISING for write
  block: split flags in copy_range
  block: add BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING flag
  block/backup: fix fleecing scheme: use serialized writes
