H A D | backup.c | diff 1a2b8b406bea1108c990b6fc932bef63211de245 Mon Jul 29 15:35:55 CDT 2019 John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> block/backup: support bitmap sync modes for non-bitmap backups
Accept bitmaps and sync policies for the other backup modes. This allows us to do things like create a bitmap synced to a full backup without a transaction, or start a resumable backup process.
Some combinations don't make sense, though:
- NEVER policy combined with any non-BITMAP mode doesn't do anything, because the bitmap isn't used for input or output. It's harmless, but is almost certainly never what the user wanted.
- sync=NONE is more questionable. It can't use on-success because this job never completes with success anyway, and the resulting artifact of 'always' is suspect: because we start with a full bitmap and only copy out segments that get written to, the final output bitmap will always be ... a fully set bitmap.
Maybe there's contexts in which bitmaps make sense for sync=none, but not without more severe changes to the current job, and omitting it here doesn't prevent us from adding it later.
