[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 0/3] qcow2: Do not mark inactive images corrupt

[Max Reitz]

The non-public logs in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1583346 (sorry...) reveal
this problem:

$ (Create a qcow2 file "foo.qcow2" with a corrupted first L1 entry)
$ echo 'qemu-io none0 "read 0 512"' \
    | x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=none,file=foo.qcow2 \
                                        -monitor stdio \
                                        -incoming exec:'cat /dev/null'

Oops.


The first patch in this series makes a function public that the second
patch uses to fix the issue by treating all non-writable images like
read-only images (yes, there is a difference...) in this regard (which
most importantly means not trying to set the corrupt flag on them).
Inactive images count as non-writable images, but not as read-only
images, so that fixes it.

The third patch adds an iotest case.


v2:
- Use bdrv_is_writable() instead of copying its functionality [Jeff]


git-backport-diff against v1:

Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively

001/3:[down] 'block: Make bdrv_is_writable() public'
002/3:[0004] [FC] 'qcow2: Do not mark inactive images corrupt'
003/3:[----] [--] 'iotests: Add case for a corrupted inactive image'


Max Reitz (3):
  block: Make bdrv_is_writable() public
  qcow2: Do not mark inactive images corrupt
  iotests: Add case for a corrupted inactive image
