From 728e3d8a124f4ec51c005ad6867270f3e60df16c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 18:25:12 +0200 Subject: qcow2: Deprecation warning when opening v2 images rw qcow2 v3 has been around for a long time (since QEMU 1.1/RHEL 7), so there is no real reason any more to use it. People still using it might do so unintentionally. Warn about it and suggest upgrading during the RHEL 9 timeframe so that the code can possibly be disabled in RHEL 10. The warning is restricted to read-write mode and the system emulator. The primary motivation for not having it in qemu-img is that 'qemu-img amend' for upgrades would warn otherwise. It also avoids having to make too many changes to the test suite. bdrv_uses_whitelist() is used as a proxy for deciding whether we are running in a tool or the system emulator. This is not entirely clean, but it's what is available and the same function qcow2_do_open() already uses it this way for another warning.
