Maybe I'm missing something, but if a driver always returns positive
permit, despite of what candidate is (or even it's relevant to bs),
then doesn't it also affect other devices? because...

+
+    return bdrv_generic_check_ext_snapshot(bs, candidate);
+}
+
+/* This function check if the candidate bs has snapshots authorized by going
+ * down the forest of bs, skipping filters and stopping on the the first bses

+ExtSnapshotPerm bdrv_check_ext_snapshot(BlockDriverState *candidate)
+{
+    BlockDriverState *bs;
+
+    /* walk down the bs forest recursively */
+    QTAILQ_FOREACH(bs, &bdrv_states, device_list) {

this iterates through all the known graph trees (device_list),
instead of limiting to only the device that candidate belongs to.

The recursion termination success is candidate == bs.
This make sure that the scan of the other tree of the forest will not return any
spurious success.


But the "candidate == bs" check is in
bdrv_generic_check_ext_snapshot, which gets short-circuited by
driver implementation if the driver implements it, in
bdrv_recurse_check_ext_snapshot.

So if I have an "always yes" drv->bdrv_check_ext_snapshot and it
happens to be the first one in bdrv_states, I will allow all
snapshot operations.


My bad I forgot to document the drv_>bdrv_check_ext_snapshot.
It meant to be recursive and only for twisted block filter like this one 
(quorum):

static ExtSnapshotPerm quorum_check_ext_snapshot(BlockDriverState *bs,
                                                  BlockDriverState *candidate)
{
     BDRVQuorumState *s = bs->opaque;
     int i;

     for (i = 0; i < s->total; i++) {
         ExtSnapshotPerm perm = bdrv_recurse_check_ext_snapshot(s->bs[i],
                                                                candidate);
         if (perm == EXT_SNAPSHOT_ALLOWED) {
             return EXT_SNAPSHOT_ALLOWED;
         }
     }

     return EXT_SNAPSHOT_FORBIDDEN;
}

Maybe the callback needs a serious rename.


OK, I see how it works. Default is forbidden and you iterate on all the devices trying to find some BDS recognizes and returns "allow". This positive vote is so powerful and I hope no driver will ever abuse it in the future. :)

But I still think if "bs" doesn't "recognize candidate" (in other words, they are irrelevant to each other), it should return a 3rd value like "EXT_SNAPSHOT_NOTCARE", which is more intuitive.

Thanks for your explanation.
