[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 4/5] block/vmdk: Relative backing file for creation

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

When a vmdk image is created with a backing file, it is opened to check
whether it is indeed a vmdk file by letting qemu probe it. When doing
so, the backing filename is relative to the image's base directory so it
should be interpreted accordingly.
