2016-11-14block/curl: Drop TFTP "support"Max Reitz
Because TFTP does not support byte ranges, it was never usable with our curl block driver. Since apparently nobody has ever complained loudly enough for someone to take care of the issue until now, it seems reasonable to assume that nobody has ever actually used it. Therefore, it should be safe to just drop it from curl's protocol list. [Jeff Cody: Below is additional summary pulled, with some rewording, from followup emails between Max and Markus, to explain what worked and what didn't] TFTP would sometimes work, to a limited extent, for images <= the curl "readahead" size, so long as reads started at offset zero. By default, that readahead size is 256KB. Reads starting at a non-zero offset would also have returned data from a zero offset. It can become more complicated still, with mixed reads at zero offset and non-zero offsets, due to data buffering. In short, TFTP could only have worked before in very specific scenarios with unrealistic expectations and constraints.

2016-10-31block: Add 'base-node' parameter to the 'block-stream' commandAlberto Garcia
The way to specify the node from which to copy data in the block-stream operation is by using the 'base' parameter. This parameter however takes a file name, not a node name. Since we want to be able to perform this operation using only node names, this patch adds a new 'base-node' parameter.

2016-10-30COLO: Add 'x-colo-lost-heartbeat' command to trigger failoverzhanghailiang
We leave users to choose whatever heartbeat solution they want, if the heartbeat is lost, or other errors they detect, they can use experimental command 'x_colo_lost_heartbeat' to tell COLO to do failover, COLO will do operations accordingly. For example, if the command is sent to the Primary side, the Primary side will exit COLO mode, does cleanup work, and then, PVM will take over the service work. If sent to the Secondary side, the Secondary side will run failover work, then takes over PVM's service work.

2016-10-30migration: Introduce capability 'x-colo' to migrationzhanghailiang
We add helper function colo_supported() to indicate whether colo is supported or not, with which we use to control whether or not showing 'x-colo' string to users, they can use qmp command 'query-migrate-capabilities' or hmp command 'info migrate_capabilities' to learn if colo is supported. The default value for COLO (COarse-Grain LOck Stepping) is disabled.

2016-10-24block: Remove "options" indirection from blockdev-addKevin Wolf
Now that QAPI supports boxed types, we can have unions at the top level of a command, so let's put our real options directly there for blockdev-add instead of having a single "options" dict that contains the real arguments. blockdev-add is still experimental and we already made substantial changes to the API recently, so we're free to make changes like this one, too.

2016-10-13migrate: move max-bandwidth and downtime-limit to migrate_set_parameterAshijeet Acharya
Mark the old commands 'migrate_set_speed' and 'migrate_set_downtime' as deprecated. Move max-bandwidth and downtime-limit into migrate-set-parameters for setting maximum migration speed and expected downtime limit parameters respectively. Change downtime units to milliseconds (only for new-command) and set its upper bound limit to 2000 seconds. Update the query part in both hmp and qmp qemu control interfaces.

2016-10-07block: Add qdev ID to DEVICE_TRAY_MOVEDKevin Wolf
The event currently only contains the BlockBackend name. However, with anonymous BlockBackends, this is always the empty string. Add the qdev ID (or if none was given, the QOM path) so that the user can still see which device caused the event. Event generation has to be moved from bdrv_eject() to the BlockBackend because the BDS doesn't know the attached device, but that's easy because blk_eject() is the only user of it.
