[turned off wrapping to avoid nasty looking cut-n-paste from code]

Hmmm... let's see...

storageBackendResizeQemuImg()
{
...
    if (vol->target.encryption) {
...
        storageBackendLoadDefaultSecrets(vol);

        if (storageBackendCreateQemuImgCheckEncryption(vol->target.format,
                                                       type, vol) < 0)
            goto cleanup;
...

Leading us to:

storageBackendLoadDefaultSecrets()
{
...
    if (!vol->target.encryption || vol->target.encryption->nsecrets != 0)
        return 0;
...


otherwise we fill in nsecrets/secrets with the secret for the volume (if
found), meaning when we leave we'd have nsecrets == 1. Because nsecrets == 1
that means the CheckEncryption will not attempt to create a secret.

If a secret for the volume is not found, then yes we leave with nsecrets == 0
and seemingly would/could have a regression.

But let's consider the ramifications and that we created the volume with
a specific secret, but we could not find that secret later on when someone
went to resize the volume.

Currently if this were a luks volume, then the resize would fail in the
CheckEncryption because there is no secret.  However, for a qcow volume
we'd create a new secret! 

With the new code we'd generate the same failure that luks has but with
a qcow specific error message instead of regenerating a new secret for
resize that wasn't used for create. 

So is the new model a regression or a fix?

Tks -

John
