    block: Framework for reopening files safely · e971aa12
    Jeff Cody 提交于
    This is based on Supriya Kannery's bdrv_reopen() patch series.
    
    This provides a transactional method to reopen multiple
    images files safely.
    
    Image files are queue for reopen via bdrv_reopen_queue(), and the
    reopen occurs when bdrv_reopen_multiple() is called.  Changes are
    staged in bdrv_reopen_prepare() and in the equivalent driver level
    functions.  If any of the staged images fails a prepare, then all
    of the images left untouched, and the staged changes for each image
    abandoned.
    
    Block drivers are passed a reopen state structure, that contains:
        * BDS to reopen
        * flags for the reopen
        * opaque pointer for any driver-specific data that needs to be
          persistent from _prepare to _commit/_abort
        * reopen queue pointer, if the driver needs to queue additional
          BDS for a reopen
