[Qemu-block] [PATCH] block: Document that x-blockdev-change breaks quoru


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH] block: Document that x-blockdev-change breaks quorum children list
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 11:59:05 +0100

Removing a quorum child node with x-blockdev-change results in a quorum
driver state that cannot be recreated with create options because it
would require a list with gaps. This causes trouble in at least
.bdrv_refresh_filename().

Document this problem so that we won't accidentally mark the command
stable without having addressed it.

 # Warning: The data in a new quorum child MUST be consistent with that of
