Hi, this series allows changing bs->file using x-blockdev-reopen. Read here for more details: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2021-01/msg00437.html Version 2 of the series introduces a very significant change: x-blockdev-reopen now receives a list of BlockdevOptions instead of just one, so it is possible to reopen multiple block devices using a single transaction. This is still an RFC, I haven't updated the documentation and the structure of the patches will probably change in the future, but I'd like to know your opinion about the approach. These patches apply on top of Vladimir's branch: git: https://src.openvz.org/scm/~vsementsov/qemu.git tag: up-block-topologic-perm-v2 Regards, Berto Alberto Garcia (4): block: Allow changing bs->file on reopen iotests: Update 245 to support replacing files with x-blockdev-reopen block: Support multiple reopening with x-blockdev-reopen iotests: Test reopening multiple devices at the same time qapi/block-core.json | 2 +- include/block/block.h | 2 + block.c | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++-- blockdev.c | 85 +++++++++++++----------- tests/qemu-iotests/155 | 9 ++- tests/qemu-iotests/165 | 4 +- tests/qemu-iotests/245 | 128 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- tests/qemu-iotests/245.out | 4 +- tests/qemu-iotests/248 | 2 +- tests/qemu-iotests/248.out | 2 +- tests/qemu-iotests/298 | 4 +- 11 files changed, 254 insertions(+), 69 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1

I like the direction where this is going. You have a test case for adding a throttling filter. Can we also remove it again or is there still a problem with that? I seem to remember that that was a bit trickier, though I'm not sure what it was. Was it that we can't have the throttle node without a file, so it would possibly still have permission conflicts?

For now I've only used blockdev-reopen for turning backing files read-write and back for bitmap manipulation. In such case I presume it doesn't really make sense to use the batching if I ever need to reopen multiple images. Other than that, the blockdev-reopen code is still dormant in libvirt so it's easy to add the extra required wrapping without any problem.

There is no problem with removing the filter anymore. See here for a
description of the original problem:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2020-12/msg00090.html
But this series is based on Vladimir's branch ("update graph permissions
update") which reworks how the permissions are calculated on reopen and
solves the issue.

Ah, nice. Can we just add removing the filter again to the test then?

Yes, I'm aware of this. I still hope we can get a stable blockdev-reopen
for 6.0.

I missed the second reopen, probably expected the code to be longer than that. :-) Kevin
