Add a parameter that enables discard-after-copy. That is mostly useful
in "push backup with fleecing" scheme, when source is snapshot-access
format driver node, based on copy-before-write filter snapshot-access
API:
[guest] [snapshot-access] ~~ blockdev-backup ~~> [backup target]
| |
| root | file
v v
[copy-before-write]
| |
| file | target
v v
[active disk] [temp.img]
In this case discard-after-copy does two things:
- discard data in temp.img to save disk space
- avoid further copy-before-write operation in discarded area
Note that we have to declare WRITE permission on source in
copy-before-write filter, for discard to work. Still we can't take it
unconditionally, as it will break normal backup from RO source. So, we
have to add a parameter and pass it thorough bdrv_open flags.
