From ca49a4fdb39d7b00b20e8500cba11aedc87755bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 13:58:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] block: Add blk_new_open() blk_new_with_bs() creates a BlockBackend with an empty BlockDriverState attached to it. Empty BDSs are not nice, therefore add an alternative function which combines blk_new_with_bs() with bdrv_open(). Note: In contrast to bdrv_open() which takes a BlockDriver parameter, blk_new_open() does not take such a parameter. This is because bdrv_open() opens a BlockDriverState, therefore it is natural to be able to set the BlockDriver for that BDS. The fact that bdrv_open() can open more than a single BDS is merely some form of a byproduct. blk_new_open() on the other hand is intended to be used to create a whole tree of BlockDriverStates. Therefore, setting a single BlockDriver does not make much sense. Instead, the drivers to be used for each of the nodes must be configured through the "options" QDict; including the driver of the root BDS.
