From 0567c3f91a89c476b29341e581aac0e522d26717 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:08:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 26/34] block/drive-mirror: Reuse backing HD for sync=none RH-Author: Max Reitz Message-id: <1390154881-17140-7-git-send-email-mreitz@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 56819 O-Subject: [RHEL-7.0 qemu-kvm PATCH v2 6/7] block/drive-mirror: Reuse backing HD for sync=none Bugzilla: 921890 RH-Acked-by: Fam Zheng RH-Acked-by: Kevin Wolf RH-Acked-by: Jeffrey Cody BZ: 921890 For "none" sync mode in "absolute-paths" mode, the current image should be used as the backing file for the newly created image. The current behavior is: a) If the image to be mirrored has a backing file, use that (which is wrong, since the operations recorded by "none" are applied to the image itself, not to its backing file). b) If the image to be mirrored lacks a backing file, the target doesn't have one either (which is not really wrong, but not really right, either; "none" records a set of operations executed on the image file, therefore having no backing file to apply these operations on seems rather pointless). For a, this is clearly a bugfix. For b, it is still a bugfix, although it might break existing API - but since that case crashed qemu just three weeks ago (before 1452686495922b81d6cf43edf025c1aef15965c0), we can safely assume there is no such API relying on that case yet.
