v6 of these patches is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-April/msg01240.html
The 'drive-mirror' command not only missed qemu 1.1 (back when I first posted these patches), but also missed qemu 1.2. Paolo is still working on re-posting his patches to the qemu lists (see patch 2/9 for a link to his previous posting, which has had two months of commentary). I'm still not anxious to have these commands committed to upstream libvirt until 'drive-mirror' is at least in qemu.git rather than just Paolo's tree, but thought it would be worth rebasing the series to track the things that have changed since April.
In v7, I've adjusted the series to cater to Paolo's proposed QMP semantics (most of the review on his last patch to the qemu list was on the internals, and not the interface itself), as well as to allow working out-of-the-box with the RHEL 6.3 implementation of block copy.
Unfortunately, since Paolo's patches are still in flux, I suspect this will need a v8 that has seen further testing with both upstream qemu.git and RHEL 6.3 git.
Paolo's patches are further along, but in the meantime, Jeff's patches for block-commit went in. So I am now working on rebasing this on top of my block-commit code, not to mention Dan's cleanups to monitor handling. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
