[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: for HMP commit() operations on 'all', skip non-COW drives

[Jeff Cody]

During a commit of 'all' using the HMP non-live commit, the operation
is aborted and returns error on the first error enountered.  When
non-COW drives are in use (e.g. ejected floppy, cdrom, or drives without
a backing parent), that means a commit all will return an error of either
-ENOMEDIUM or -ENOTSUP.  This is not desirable, so for the 'all' commit
case, only attempt the commit if both bs->drv and bs->backing_hd are
present.

More succinctly: 'commit all' now means a commit on all COW drives.

This means an individual commit to a specific non-COW drive will still
return the appropriate error (-ENOMEDIUM if eject / not present, -ENOTSUP
if no backing file).
