[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/2] fix image fleecing

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all.

It's a continuation of discussion under
"[PATCH v2 2/3] block/fleecing-filter: new filter driver for fleecing" [1].

Here is my try to implement Kevin's idea, that all backup writes (for
fleecing case) should be serialized. (However, I've skipped for now
fixing related permissions).

Looks like these patches may replace patch [1], to make fleecing scheme
safe. But I'm not sure, a look by Kevin is necessary.

A test is still needed, to prove that this patch is necessary and that it
works..

  block: add BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING flag
  block/backup: fix fleecing scheme: use serialized writes
