[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 2/3] block: resize backing image during active layer commit, if needed

[Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>]

If the top image to commit is the active layer, and also larger than
the base image, then an I/O error will likely be returned during
block-commit.

For instance, if we have a base image with a virtual size 10G, and a
active layer image of size 20G, then committing the snapshot via
'block-commit' will likely fail.

This will automatically attempt to resize the base image, if the
active layer image to be committed is larger.
