Subject: [PATCH v5 00/12] Exposing backing-chain allocation over NBD
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 13:36:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201023183652.478921-1-eblake@redhat.com> (raw)

v4 was here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-10/msg02708.html

Since then:
- rebase to master
- patches 1, 2, and 12 are new based on Vladimir's observation of QAPI_LIST_ADD
- patches 10-11 are new based on prior discussion on exposing actual
depth in addition to a tri-state encoding
- patch 3 has a nasty bug fixed that was causing iotest failures
- patch 6 updated to take advantage of patch 2
- other minor tweaks based on review comments
