[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] block: reduce reliance on bs->job pointer

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

This is a small collection of patches to reduce our use of the bs->job
pointer where possible. There are still more usages in the code, but
this cuts down on a few.

The goal is to eventually eliminate all of them and allow multiple block
jobs to run concurrently, but design on what that will look like is
on-going.

In the meantime, eliminate a few obviously needless references to
bs->job by allowing more systems to carry pointers to jobs directly
instead of trying to fish the pointer out of the BDS all the time.

Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively

001/5:[----] [--] 'block: Allow mirror_start to return job references'
002/5:[----] [--] 'block: Allow stream_start to return job references'
003/5:[----] [--] 'block: allow backup_start to return job references'
004/5:[down] 'block/backup: Pack Notifier within BackupBlockJob'
005/5:[0006] [FC] 'blockjob: add Job parameter to BlockCompletionFunc'

4: Rewritten to pack the notifier within the job, instead of the job within
   a subclassed notifier. [Paolo]
5: Remove junk assert and extraneous local BDS variable. [Kevin]
