Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/kevin/tags/for-upstream' into staging
Block layer patches: - qemu-img convert -C is now required to enable copy offloading - file-posix: Fix write_zeroes with unmap on block devices (would fall back to explicit writes on recent kernels) - Fix query-blockstats interface for use with -blockdev - Minor fixes and documentation updates # gpg: Signature made Mon 30 Jul 2018 16:08:14 BST # gpg: using RSA key 7F09B272C88F2FD6 # gpg: Good signature from "Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>" # Primary key fingerprint: DC3D EB15 9A9A F95D 3D74 56FE 7F09 B272 C88F 2FD6 * remotes/kevin/tags/for-upstream: qemu-iotests: Test query-blockstats with -drive and -blockdev block/qapi: Include anonymous BBs in query-blockstats block/qapi: Add 'qdev' field to query-blockstats result file-posix: Fix write_zeroes with unmap on block devices block: Fix documentation for BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP iotests: Add test for 'qemu-img convert -C' compatibility qemu-img: Add -C option for convert with copy offloading Revert "qemu-img: Document copy offloading implications with -S and -c" iotests: Don't lock /dev/null in 226 docs: Describe using images in writing iotests file-posix: Handle EINTR in preallocation=full write qcow2: A grammar fix in conflicting cache sizing error message qcow: fix a reference leak Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
