Daniel P. Berrange eb769f7420 qemu-img: allow specifying image as a set of options args
Currently qemu-img allows an image filename to be passed on the
command line, but unless using the JSON format, it does not have
a way to set any options except the format eg

   qemu-img info https://127.0.0.1/images/centos7.iso

This adds a --image-opts arg that indicates that the positional
filename should be interpreted as a full option string, not
just a filename.

   qemu-img info --image-opts driver=https,url=https://127.0.0.1/images,sslverify=off

This flag is mutually exclusive with the '-f' / '-F' flags.

Allow creation of user creatable object types with qemu-img
via a new --object command line arg. This will be used to supply
passwords and/or encryption keys to the various block driver
backends via the recently added 'secret' object type.

 # printf letmein > mypasswd.txt
 # qemu-img info --object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt \
      ...other info args...

Max Reitz bd39e6ed0b qemu-img: Allow cache mode specification for amend
qemu-img amend may extensively modify the target image, depending on the
options to be amended (e.g. conversion to qcow2 compat level 0.10 from
1.1 for an image with many unallocated zero clusters). Therefore it
makes sense to allow the user to specify the cache mode to be used.

Max Reitz 40055951a7 qemu-img: Allow source cache mode specification
Many qemu-img subcommands only read the source file(s) once. For these
use cases, a full write-back cache is unnecessary and mainly clutters
host cache memory. Though this is generally no concern as cache memory
is freely available and can be scaled by the host OS, it may become a
concern with thin provisioning.

For these cases, it makes sense to allow users to freely specify the
source cache mode (e.g. use no cache at all).

This commit adds a new switch (-T) for the qemu-img subcommands check,
compare, convert and rebase to specify the cache to be used for source
images (the backing file in case of rebase).

The QED block driver already provides the functionality to not only
detect inconsistencies in images, but also fix them. However, this
functionality cannot be manually invoked with qemu-img, but the
check happens only automatically during bdrv_open().

This adds a -r switch to qemu-img check that allows manual invocation
of an image repair.

output file sparse by not issuing a write request for the zeroed parts. Add an

Federico Simoncelli 661a0f712b qemu-img: Add cache command line option
qemu-img currently writes disk images using writeback and filling
up the cache buffers which are then flushed by the kernel preventing
other processes from accessing the storage.
This is particularly bad in cluster environments where time-based
algorithms might be in place and accessing the storage within
certain timeouts is critical.
This patch adds the option to choose a cache method when writing
disk images.

Kevin Wolf 3e85c6fd71 qemu-img rebase
This adds a rebase subcommand to qemu-img which allows to change the backing
file of an image.

In default mode, both the current and the new backing file need to exist, and
after the rebase, the COW image is guaranteed to have the same guest visible
content as before. To achieve this, old and new backing file are compared and,
if necessary, data is copied from the old backing file into the COW image.

With -u an unsafe mode is enabled that doesn't require the backing files to
exist. It merely changes the backing file reference in the COW image. This is
useful for renaming or moving the backing file. The user is responsible to make
sure that the new backing file has no changes compared to the old one, or
corruption may occur.
