[PATCH 0/2] iotests/qsd-jobs: Use common.qemu for the QSD

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

(Alternative to: “iotests/qsd-jobs: Filter events in the first test”)

Hi,

The qsd-jobs test has kind of unreliable output, because sometimes the
job is ready before ‘quit’, and sometimes it is not.  This series
presents one approach to fix that, which is to extend common.qemu to
allow running the storage daemon instead of qemu, and then to use that
in qsd-jobs to wait for the BLOCK_JOB_READY event before issuing the
‘quit’ command.

I took patch 1 from my “qcow2: Improve refcount structure rebuilding”
series.
(https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2021-03/msg00654.html)

As noted above, this series is an alternative to “iotests/qsd-jobs:
Filter events in the first test”.  I like this series here better
because I’d prefer it if tests that do QMP actually check the output so
they control what’s really happening.
On the other hand, this may be too complicated for 6.0, and we might
want to fix qsd-jobs in 6.0.
