[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 06/18] block/backup: add 'never' policy to bitmap


From: John Snow
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 06/18] block/backup: add 'never' policy to bitmap sync mode
Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2019 16:16:19 -0400

This adds a "never" policy for bitmap synchronization. Regardless of if
the job succeeds or fails, we never update the bitmap. This can be used
to perform differential backups, or simply to avoid the job modifying a
bitmap.
