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.
