Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: blockjob: Don't report block job progress at 100% if job isn't ready

Some clients take the advice to poll virDomainGetBlockJobInfo rather

still not reach the synchronised phase.
Since we are dealing with a computer interacting,
OCD nit: The above sounds awkward to me, might want to rephrase it,
maybe something like: "Given that computers are interacting here ..."
the error that the job
can't be finalized yet is not handled very well by those specific
implementations.
Our docs now correctly state to use the event.
Nit: Calling out the event name, VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_READY can be
useful when reading Git logs at a later time.
We already munge the output for the start of the job, so we can do
it
even here.
Optional, a bit of explanation of "munging the output" at the start (and
end) of the job would be useful for those new to these block APIs.
Reading between the lines, and from what I recall Eric explaining once,
what you're implying here is: that even if QEMU reported "cur==end", but
if the _READY event is not emitted, libvirt manipulates it to report
"cur<end".
Thanks for the workaround (because "QEMU is not accurately reporting
data") fix.
/me wonders if he could make a reliable reproducer test for this...
