[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] block: Fix the use of protocols in backing files

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Backing filenames may contain a protocol.  The code currently doesn't
consider this case and produces filenames that embed "<protocol>:".
Don't combine filenames if the backing filename contains a protocol.

Based on an earlier patch by Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>.

Thanks, applied to the block branch.
