[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 06/13] block: Handle child references in bdrv_reopen_queue()

[Alberto Garcia]

Children in QMP are specified with BlockdevRef / BlockdevRefOrNull,
which can contain a set of child options, a child reference, or
NULL. In optional attributes like "backing" it can also be missing.

Only the first case (set of child options) is being handled properly
by bdrv_reopen_queue(). This patch deals with all the others.

Here's how these cases should be handled when bdrv_reopen_queue() is
deciding what to do with each child of a BlockDriverState:

   1) Set of child options: the options are removed from the parent's
      options QDict and are passed to the child with a recursive
      bdrv_reopen_queue() call. This case was already working fine.

   2) Child reference: there's two possibilites here.

      2a) Reference to the current child: the child is put in the
          reopen queue, keeping its current set of options (since this
          was a child reference there was no way to specify a
          different set of options).

      2b) Reference to a different BDS: the current child is not put
          in the reopen queue at all. Passing a reference to a
          different BDS can be used to replace a child, although at
          the moment no driver implements this, so it results in an
          error. In any case, the current child is not going to be
          reopened (and might in fact disappear if it's replaced)

   3) NULL: This is similar to (2b). Although no driver allows this
      yet it can be used to detach the current child so it should not
      be put in the reopen queue.

   4) Missing option: at the moment "backing" is the only case where
      this can happen. With "blockdev-add", leaving "backing" out
      means that the default backing file is opened. We don't want to
      open a new image during reopen, so we require that "backing" is
      always present. We'll relax this requirement a bit in the next
      patch.
