Denis V. Lunev July 22, 2016, 8:17 a.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.

I love this hunk. Looks so simple. :-)

blockdev-backup is supposed to be the primary interface in the future,
so I would like to avoid introducing a feature gap where drive-backup is
more powerful. Can you please post a small diff to squash in so that
this patch adds the option to both commands? Wiring this up should be
trivial.

Never mind, you already do. Somehow I didn't expect it in a separate
patch. The series is fine as it is. :-)
