migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commands savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable. This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new commands are given different names, because they will be using the new QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name. While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later. None the less applications using these new commands should assume that they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to indicate completion. In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use. Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query what snapshots currently exist for block nodes. Acked-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

##
# @JobStatus:
#
# Indicates the present state of a given job in its lifetime.
#
# @undefined: Erroneous, default state. Should not ever be visible.
#
# @created: The job has been created, but not yet started.
#
# @running: The job is currently running.
#
# @paused: The job is running, but paused. The pause may be requested by
# either the QMP user or by internal processes.
#
# @ready: The job is running, but is ready for the user to signal completion.
# This is used for long-running jobs like mirror that are designed to
# run indefinitely.
#
# @standby: The job is ready, but paused. This is nearly identical to @paused.
# The job may return to @ready or otherwise be canceled.
#
# @waiting: The job is waiting for other jobs in the transaction to converge
# to the waiting state. This status will likely not be visible for
# the last job in a transaction.
#
# @pending: The job has finished its work, but has finalization steps that it
# needs to make prior to completing. These changes will require
# manual intervention via @job-finalize if auto-finalize was set to
# false. These pending changes may still fail.
#
# @aborting: The job is in the process of being aborted, and will finish with
# an error. The job will afterwards report that it is @concluded.
# This status may not be visible to the management process.
#
# @concluded: The job has finished all work. If auto-dismiss was set to false,
# the job will remain in the query list until it is dismissed via
# @job-dismiss.
#
# @null: The job is in the process of being dismantled. This state should not
# ever be visible externally.
#
# Since: 2.12

# Pause an active job.
#
# This command returns immediately after marking the active job for pausing.
# Pausing an already paused job is an error.
#
# The job will pause as soon as possible, which means transitioning into the
# PAUSED state if it was RUNNING, or into STANDBY if it was READY. The
# corresponding JOB_STATUS_CHANGE event will be emitted.
#
# Cancelling a paused job automatically resumes it.

# @job-cancel:
#
# Instruct an active background job to cancel at the next opportunity.
# This command returns immediately after marking the active job for
# cancellation.
#
# The job will cancel as soon as possible and then emit a JOB_STATUS_CHANGE
# event. Usually, the status will change to ABORTING, but it is possible that
# a job successfully completes (e.g. because it was almost done and there was
# no opportunity to cancel earlier than completing the job) and transitions to
# PENDING instead.
#

# Deletes a job that is in the CONCLUDED state. This command only needs to be
# run explicitly for jobs that don't have automatic dismiss enabled.
#
# This command will refuse to operate on any job that has not yet reached its
# terminal state, JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED. For jobs that make use of JOB_READY
# event, job-cancel or job-complete will still need to be used as appropriate.

# @job-finalize:
#
# Instructs all jobs in a transaction (or a single job if it is not part of any
# transaction) to finalize any graph changes and do any necessary cleanup. This
# command requires that all involved jobs are in the PENDING state.
#
# For jobs in a transaction, instructing one job to finalize will force
# ALL jobs in the transaction to finalize, so it is only necessary to instruct
# a single member job to finalize.

#
# @current-progress: Progress made until now. The unit is arbitrary and the
# value can only meaningfully be used for the ratio of
# @current-progress to @total-progress. The value is
# monotonically increasing.
#
# @total-progress: Estimated @current-progress value at the completion of
# the job. This value can arbitrarily change while the
# job is running, in both directions.
#
# @error: If this field is present, the job failed; if it is
# still missing in the CONCLUDED state, this indicates
# successful completion.

# The value is a human-readable error message to describe
# the reason for the job failure. It should not be parsed
# by applications.
