[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] Replication: Ignore requests after failover

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] Replication: Ignore requests after failover

[Lukas Straub]

After failover the Secondary side of replication shouldn't change state, because
it now functions as our primary disk.

In replication_start, replication_do_checkpoint, replication_stop, ignore
the request if current state is BLOCK_REPLICATION_DONE (sucessful failover) or
BLOCK_REPLICATION_FAILOVER (failover in progres i.e. currently merging active
and hidden images into the base image).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] net/filter.c: Add Options to insert filters anywhere in the filter list

[Lukas Straub]

To switch the Secondary to Primary, we need to insert new filters
before the filter-rewriter.

Add the options insert= and position= to be able to insert filters
anywhere in the filter list.

position should be either "head", "tail" or the id of another filter.
insert should be either "before" or "after" to specify where to
insert the new filter relative to the one specified with position.

We should add some block people to this one to review it; cc'ing in
Kevin and Max.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] Replication: Ignore requests after failover

[Lukas Straub]

After failover the Secondary side of replication shouldn't change state, because
it now functions as our primary disk.

In replication_start, replication_do_checkpoint, replication_stop, ignore
the request if current state is BLOCK_REPLICATION_DONE (sucessful failover) or
BLOCK_REPLICATION_FAILOVER (failover in progres i.e. currently merging active
and hidden images into the base image).
