[PATCH 0/6] block: add block-dirty-bitmap-populate job


From: John Snow
Subject: [PATCH 0/6] block: add block-dirty-bitmap-populate job
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:56:35 -0500

Hi,

This is a new (very small) block job that writes a pattern into a
bitmap. The only pattern implemented is the top allocation information.

This can be used to "recover" an incremental bitmap chain if an external
snapshot was taken without creating a new bitmap first: any writes made
to the image will be reflected by the allocation status and can be
written back into a bitmap.

This is useful for e.g. libvirt managing backup chains if a user creates
an external snapshot outside of libvirt.

Patches 1-2: The new job.
Patch 3: iotest prerequisite
Patch 4-5: completely optional cleanup.
Patch 6: Test.

John Snow (6):
  block: add bitmap-populate job
  qmp: expose block-dirty-bitmap-populate
  iotests: move bitmap helpers into their own file
  iotests: add hmp helper with logging
  qmp.py: change event_wait to use a dict
  iotests: add 287 for block-dirty-bitmap-populate
