Introduce a new flag 'backing_file_format_no_protocol' for the
block-commit QMP command which instructs the internals to use 'raw'
instead of the protocol driver in case when a image is used without a
dummy 'raw' wrapper.
The flag is designed such that it can be always asserted by management
Introduce a new flag 'backing_file_format_no_protocol' for the
block-commit QMP command which instructs the internals to use 'raw'
instead of the protocol driver in case when a image is used without a
dummy 'raw' wrapper.
The flag is designed such that it can be always asserted by management
Please see patches for rationale.
Libvirt patches using this new flag will be posted soon-ish (after
cleanup).
v2:
- fixed mistaken argument order in 'hmp_block_stream'
- changed version in docs to 9.0 as getting this into RC 3 probably
isn't realistic

If a blockcommit is aborted the base image remains in RW mode, that leads
to a fail of subsequent live migration.
How to reproduce:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as vm snp1 --disk-only
*** write something to the disk ***
$ virsh blockcommit vm vda --active --shallow && virsh blockjob vm vda
