What about this patch? Can it be applied to the block branch?

No objections on my side. You can add:

Reviewed-by: Christian Brunner <chb@muc.de>

The questions is how we continue with the rbd driver. Recent ceph
versions had some changes in librados that are incompatible with the
current driver. We have to options now:

1. Change the function calls for new librados versions (I could
provide a patch for this).
2. Use librbd (see Josh's patches).

Using librbd simplifies the qemu driver a lot and gives us consistency
with the kernel driver. - I would prefer this. (Please note that there
is a race condition in the current librbd versions, that crashes qemu
under high i/o load, but I'm fairly confident, that Josh will have
sorted this out by the time 0.15 is released).

Christian

These are the patches that Josh posted a while ago but haven't been
reviewed yet?  I think they just need some attention and then should
be merged.

The problem with Josh's patches (or basically anything related to the
rbd driver) is that it hasn't received any review. I'm not familiar with
librados and librbd, so reviewing rbd is even harder than other patches
of the same size for me. Additionally, it's not a test environment that
I have set up.

So going forward with it, I think we need a separate rbd maintainer. So
Christian, I think it would be helpful if you at least reviewed any rbd
patch and either comment on it or send an Acked-by, which basically
tells me to commit it without any further checks. Or maybe we should
consider that you send pull requests yourself if the patches touch only
rbd code.

Hi Josh,

I don't know if you followed this thread on the qemu list. I would
sugest, that you resend the current patchset. I will review it and
send an ack afterwards.

Please feel free to add your name to the header and the copyright.

Regards,
Christian

This patch was reviewed by Christian, but is still in my queue of open 
patches.
Kevin, could you please take it into the block queue?

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] block/rbd: Remove unused local variable

[Stefan Weil]

Variable 'snap' is assigned a value that is never used.
Remove snap and the related code.

v2:
  The unused variable which was in function rbd_open is now in function
  qemu_rbd_create, so the patch needed an update.
