Block job cancellation can take a while. Now that upstream qemu 1.1 has asynchronous block cancellation, we want to expose that to the user. Therefore, the following updates are made to the virDomainBlockJob API: A new block job event type VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED is managed by libvirt. Regardless of the flags used with virDomainBlockJobAbort, this event will be raised: 1. when using synchronous block_job_cancel (the event will be synthesized by libvirt), and 2. whenever it is received from qemu (via asynchronous block-job-cancel). Note that the event may be detected by libvirt even before the virDomainBlockJobAbort completes (always true when it is synthesized, but also possible if cancellation was fast). A new extension flag VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC is added to the virDomainBlockJobAbort API. When enabled, this function will allow (but not require) asynchronous operation (ie, it returns as soon as possible, which might be before the job has actually been canceled). When the API is used in this mode, it is the responsibility of the caller to wait for a VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED event or poll via the virDomainGetBlockJobInfo API to check the cancellation status. This patch also exposes the new flag through virsh, and makes virsh slightly easier to use (--async implies --abort, and lack of any options implies --info), although it leaves the qemu implementation for later patches.

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.
