Reverting to a state prior to an external snapshot risks corrupting any other branches in the snapshot hierarchy that were using the snapshot as a read-only backing file. So disk snapshot code will default to preventing reverting to a snapshot that has any children, meaning that deleting just the children of a snapshot becomes a useful operation in preparing that snapshot for being a future reversion target. The code for the new flag is simple - it's one less deletion, plus a tweak to keep the current snapshot correct. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY): New flag. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotDelete): Document it, and enforce mutual exclusion. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Implement it.
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.
