[PATCH 0/2] consistency between extensions
Since Vladimir is working on adding an implementation of BLOCK_STATUS
support to qemu, I want to make sure the spec extensions make sense
together, and noticed some minor differences between the various
branches. This series is the result.
Patch 1 is for the master branch, patch 2 is for the
extension-structured-reply branch. Then there is an obvious followup
to the extension-resize branch (use bit 9 instead of 10 for
NBD_FLAG_SEND_RESIZE), and to the extension-block-status branch
(use 3 instead of 5 as the value of NBD_REPLY_TYPE_BLOCK_STATUS).
Qemu 2.11 is about a month away from release, and it now includes
the STRUCTURED_REPLY extension, so it is time to start thinking about
promoting that branch from experimental to mainline. I'm hoping to
also have time in the next month to implement STRUCTURED_REPLY on
the nbdkit implementation, and prove that it interacts with qemu's
implementation, as an extra reason to call the extension stable.
RESIZE and BLOCK_STATUS will not be implemented any sooner than
qemu 2.12, so those two branches still remain experimental.
