    backup: Implement virsh support for checkpoints · 689beaa4
    Eric Blake 提交于
    Introduce a bunch of new virsh commands for managing checkpoints in
    isolation. More commands are needed for performing incremental
    backups, but these commands were easy to implement by modeling heavily
    after virsh-snapshot.c. There is no need for checkpoint-revert or
    checkpoint-current since those snapshot APIs have no checkpoint
    counterpart.  Similarly, it is not necessary to change which
    checkpoint is current when redefining from XML, since until we
    integrate checkpoints with snapshots, there is only a linear chain
    (and you can deduce the current checkpoint by instead using
    'checkpoint-list --leaves').  Other aspects of checkpoint-list are
    also a bit simpler than the snapshot counterpart, in part because we
    don't have to cater to back-compat to older API.
    
    Upcoming patches will test these interfaces once the test driver
    supports checkpoints.
