[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] block/mirror: Fix target backing BDS

[Max Reitz]

bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() sometimes does what is advertised (if
the new node does not have a backing file yet and if it hasn't been in
the same backing chain already), but this is not what the mirror block
job (the sole user of that function) actually needs. In fact, it only
needs this behavior in 'top' sync mode.

In 'none' sync mode, we need to use the old BDS as the new backing BDS;
in 'full' sync mode, we should not set any backing BDS at all. And if we
need to set a backing BDS, we should always do so, regardless of whether
the new BDS already has one.

Therefore, bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() should not attempt to find
out which backing BDS is the right one. Instead, we should leave that to
the mirror block job, namely mirror_exit().
