[PATCH 0/6] qemu-img: rebase: add compression support


From: Andrey Drobyshev
Subject: [PATCH 0/6] qemu-img: rebase: add compression support
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 22:28:30 +0300

This series is adding [-c | --compress] option to "qemu-img rebase"
command, which might prove useful for saving some disk space when, for
instance, manipulating chains of backup images.  Along the way I had to
make a couple of minor improvements.

The first 2 patches are a bug fix + corresponding test case.
Patch 3 merely fixes wrong args used in allocation.
Patch 4 makes write requests during rebase operation cluster_size-aligned,
which seems to be beneficial for both non-compressed and compressed mode.
The last 2 patches are the actual feature implementation + tests.

Andrey Drobyshev (6):
  qemu-img: rebase: stop when reaching EOF of old backing file
  qemu-iotests: 024: add rebasing test case for overlay_size >
    backing_size
  qemu-img: rebase: use backing files' BlockBackend for buffer alignment
  qemu-img: rebase: avoid unnecessary COW operations
  qemu-img: add compression option to rebase subcommand
  iotests: add test 314 for "qemu-img rebase" with compression
