Taking an external snapshot of just one disk is atomic, without having to pause and resume the VM. This also paves the way for later patches to interact with the new qemu 'transaction' monitor command. The various scenarios when requesting atomic are: online, 1 disk, old qemu - safe, allowed by this patch online, more than 1 disk, old qemu - failure, this patch offline snapshot - safe, once a future patch implements offline disk snapshot online, 1 or more disks, new qemu - safe, once future patch uses transaction Taking an online system checkpoint snapshot is atomic, since it is done via a single 'savevm' monitor command. Taking an offline system checkpoint snapshot is atomic, thanks to the previous patch. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Support new flag for single-disk setups. (qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepare): Check for atomic here. (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive): Skip pausing the VM when atomic supported. (qemuDomainSnapshotIsAllowed): Use bool instead of int.
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.
