[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 05/11] block: Fix check_to_replace_node()

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

Currently, check_to_replace_node() only allows mirror to replace a node
in the chain of the source node, and only if it is the first non-filter
node below the source.  Well, technically, the idea is that you can
exactly replace a quorum child by mirroring from quorum.

This has (probably) two reasons:
(1) We do not want to create loops.
(2) @replaces and @device should have exactly the same content so
    replacing them does not cause visible data to change.

This has two issues:
(1) It is overly restrictive.  It is completely fine for @replaces to be
    a filter.
(2) It is not restrictive enough.  You can create loops with this as
    follows:

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/source.qcow2 64M
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -qmp stdio
{"execute": "qmp_capabilities"}
{"execute": "object-add",
 "arguments": {"qom-type": "throttle-group", "id": "tg0"}}
{"execute": "blockdev-add",
 "arguments": {
     "node-name": "source",
     "driver": "throttle",
     "throttle-group": "tg0",
     "file": {
         "node-name": "filtered",
         "driver": "qcow2",
         "file": {
             "driver": "file",
             "filename": "/tmp/source.qcow2"
         } } } }
{"execute": "drive-mirror",
 "arguments": {
     "job-id": "mirror",
     "device": "source",
     "target": "/tmp/target.qcow2",
     "format": "qcow2",
     "node-name": "target",
     "sync" :"none",
     "replaces": "filtered"
 } }
{"execute": "block-job-complete", "arguments": {"device": "mirror"}}

And qemu crashes because of a stack overflow due to the loop being
created (target's backing file is source, so when it replaces filtered,
it points to itself through source).

(blockdev-mirror can be broken similarly.)

So let us make the checks for the two conditions above explicit, which
makes the whole function exactly as restrictive as it needs to be.
