[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V3 5/7] block: Add infinite loop check in drive_init()

[Xu Wang]

Backing file should be checked if there is a loop in it during image
boot. Becase if there is loop qemu would no response for a long time
and segment fault occured. So this patch would check backing file
chain if there is loop in it before open image.
