[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: write checksum back to footer after check

[Zhang Shengju]

After validation check, the 'checksum' is not written back
to footer, which leave it with zero.

This results in errors while loadding it under Microsoft's
Hyper-V environment, and also errors from utilities like
Citrix's vhd-util.
