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 all,
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
I would like to inquire about the status of block filters in QEMU. I work for
a team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and we
would be interested in a QEMU encryption feature, such as described in the
to-do list [1]. However, it seems the method described relies on block
filters, also on the to-do list. Does development work on block filters live
in a public branch somewhere? If so, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone
could point me to it so that I could take a look. Does anyone know of an
estimated date for when the block filters might be in state so that one could
write an encryption filter? Additionally, does anyone have an estimate for
time and amount of effort if might take to implement such an encryption
filter? If someone could assist me in planning out what steps need to be
taken to support encryption, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
