[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 1/3] block: resize backing file image during offline commit, if necessary

[Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>]

Currently, if an image file is logically larger than its backing file,
committing it via 'qemu-img commit' will fail.

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

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