This can be drastically simplified by letting the test runner update the reference file in place. By setting 'QEMU_IOTESTS_REGEN=1', the test runner will report the failure and show the diff, but at the same time update the reference file. So next time the I/O test is run it will succeed. Continuing to display the diff when updating the reference gives the developer a chance to review what was changed. Reviewed-by: Eric Blake Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
