[Qemu-stable] [PATCH] block: Use BDRV_O_NO_BACKING where appropriate


From: Benoît Canet
Subject: [Qemu-stable] [PATCH] block: Use BDRV_O_NO_BACKING where appropriate
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:44:19 +0200

From: Kevin Wolf <address@hidden>

If you open an image temporarily just because you want to check its size
or get it flushed, there's no real reason to open the whole backing file
chain.

This is a backport of c9fbb99d41b05acf0d7b93deb2fcdbf9047c238e to
qemu 1.7.1.

The backport was done to fix a bug where QEMU 1.7.1 would crash or freeze
when the user take around 80 consecutives snapshots in a row.

git bisect would lead to commit: ba2ab2f2ca4150a7e314fbb19fa158bd8ddc36eb
and it was clear that BDRV_NO_BACKING was missing.
