Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v9 02/13] backup: Introduce virDomainCheckpoint APIs

Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints. Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it. The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs on the right: Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child: virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML Operate on a child object for lifetime management: virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree virDomainSnapshotRef virDomainCheckpointRef Operate on a child object to learn more about it: virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc virDomainSnapshotGetConnect virDomainCheckpointGetConnect virDomainSnapshotGetDomain virDomainCheckpointGetDomain virDomainSnapshotGetName virDomainCheckpiontGetName virDomainSnapshotGetParent virDomainCheckpiontGetParent virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata (deferred for later) virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent (no counterpart, present in XML instead) Operate on a domain object to list all children: virDomainSnapshotNum (no counterparts, these are the old virDomainSnapshotListNames racy interfaces) virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots virDomainListAllCheckpoints Operate on a child object to list descendents: virDomainSnapshotNumChildren (no counterparts, these are the old virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames racy interfaces) virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren Operate on a domain to locate a particular child: virDomainSnapshotLookupByName virDomainCheckpointLookupByName virDomainSnapshotCurrent (obtained by flag to ListAllCheckpoints) virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot (no counterpart, old racy interface) Operate on a snapshot to roll back to earlier state: virDomainSnapshotRevert (no counterpart, instead checkpoints are used in incremental backups via XML to virDomainBackupBegin) Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake(a)redhat.com&gt; --- include/libvirt/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.h | 143 +++++ include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h | 6 + include/libvirt/libvirt.h | 5 +- src/conf/virdomainmomentobjlist.h | 5 +- src/driver-hypervisor.h | 38 ++ docs/Makefile.am | 3 + docs/apibuild.py | 2 + docs/docs.html.in | 1 + libvirt.spec.in | 1 + mingw-libvirt.spec.in | 2 + po/POTFILES | 1 + src/Makefile.am | 2 + src/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.c | 586 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt-domain.c | 19 +- src/libvirt_public.syms | 16 + 15 files changed, 821 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/libvirt/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.h create mode 100644 src/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.c diff --git a/include/libvirt/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.h b/include/libvirt/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.h new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b2d5c5758b --- /dev/null +++ b/include/libvirt/libvirt-domain-checkpoint.h @@ -0,0 +1,143 @@
