[Qemu-devel] [PULL 18/58] block: Reuse bs as backing hd for drive-backup sync=none

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>

Opening the backing image for the second time is bad, especially here
when it is also in use as the active image as the source. The
drive-backup job itself doesn't read from target->backing for COW,
instead it gets data from the write notifier, so it's not a big problem.
However, exporting the target to NBD etc. won't work, because of the
likely stale metadata cache.

Use BDRV_O_NO_BACKING in this case and manually set up the backing
BdrvChild.
