It's unused now (except for permission handling)[*]. The only reasonable
user of it was block-stream job, recently updated to use own blk. And
other block jobs prefer to use own source node related objects.
So, the arguments of dropping the field are:
- block jobs prefer not to use it
- block jobs usually has more then one node to operate on, and better
to operate symmetrically (for example has both source and target
blk's in specific block-job state structure)
*: BlockJob.blk is used to keep some permissions. We simply move
permissions to block-job child created in block_job_create() together
with blk.
In mirror, we just should not care anymore about restoring state of
blk. Most probably this code could be dropped long ago, after dropping
bs->job pointer. Now it finally goes away together with BlockJob.blk
itself.
iotest 141 output is updated, as "bdrv_has_blk(bs)" check in
qmp_blockdev_del() doesn't fail (we don't have blk now). Still, new
error message looks even better.
In iotest 283 we need to add a job id, otherwise "Invalid job ID"
happens now earlier than permission check (as permissions moved from
blk to block-job node).

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
