RHEL 6.2 was released with an early version of block jobs, which only worked on the qed file format, where the commands were spelled with underscore (contrary to QMP style), and where 'block_job_cancel' was synchronous and did not trigger an event. The upcoming qemu 1.1 release has fixed these short-comings [1][2]: the commands now work on multiple file types, are spelled with dash, and 'block-job-cancel' is asynchronous and emits an event upon conclusion. [1]qemu commit 370521a1d6f5537ea7271c119f3fbb7b0fa57063 [2]https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-04/msg01248.html This patch recognizes the new spellings, and fixes virDomainBlockRebase to give a graceful error when talking to a too-old qemu on a partial rebase attempt. Fixes for the new semantics will come later. This patch also removes a bogus ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL mistakenly added in commit 10ec36e2. * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h (QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKJOB_SYNC) (QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKJOB_ASYNC): New bits. * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCaps): Name them. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONCheckCommands): Set them. (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Manage both command names. (qemuMonitorJSONDiskSnapshot): Minor formatting fix. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Alter signature. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Likewise. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Pass through capability bit. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Update callers.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
