[PATCH 0/4] qemu: fix block jobs when copy_on_read is enabled

[Peter Krempa]

QEMU requires us to pass the topmost node(-name) in the backing chain as
the 'device' argument for the blockdev-mirror/block-commit commands.
Otherwise QEMU complains:

 "Need a root block node"

Since libvirt always puts the copy-on-read driver on top of the backing
chain, blockjobs on disks which use "copy_on_read" fail.

The series below fixes that by passing the proper node. This fixes it
just fine for the mirror, but for block-commit we still get another
error due to a bug in qemu:

 "'libvirt-4-format' is not in this backing file chain"

Additionally one weird thing happens with block-stream (blockpull). If I
pass the layer below the copy-on-read as 'device', everything works.
This is kind of weird as the documentation for that is the same. If I
pass the nodename of copy-on-read.

Max, Kevin, could you please comment on the block-stream part and
possibly also on the plans to fix the issue with block-commit?
