Hello,
Is anyone working on block filters? If so, can you please tell me what the
current progress is? I am referring to item "BlockFilter and dynamic
reconfiguration of the BDS graph" on the to-do list [1].
Thanks for your time,

Hello,
1) I once wanted to write block filters.
2) I am not a QEMU contributor anymore.
3) If you need block filters you also need to write them.
Best regards
Benoît
