Commit Message

Denis V. Lunev May 14, 2016, 12:45 p.m. UTC
From: Pavel Butsykin <pbutsykin@virtuozzo.com>

The idea is simple - backup is "written-once" data. It is written block
by block and it is large enough. It would be nice to save storage
space and compress it.

The patch adds a flag to the qmp/hmp drive-backup command which enables
block compression. Compression should be implemented in the format driver
to enable this feature.

There are some limitations of the format driver to allow compressed writes.
We can write data only once. Though for backup this is perfectly fine.
These limitations are maintained by the driver and the error will be
reported if we are doing something wrong.

Missing documentation of the new option.

Missing mention that it is optional, default false.
