I'm just asking for clarity. If that was taken into > consideration and the difference does not matter here, then this is The idea is that the function should return true if both are pointing to the same backing, in those terms the 'mode' is irrelevant as it's still the same image. This code is used in blockjob finalization, where it doesn't matter at all and in cdrom image changing code, where it very theoretically could be used to change the mode, but it's questionable whether that would even make sense in any real usage.
