Reverting to a state prior to an external snapshot risks
corrupting any other branches in the snapshot hierarchy that
were using the snapshot as a read-only backing file. So
disk snapshot code will default to preventing reverting to
a snapshot that has any children, meaning that deleting just
the children of a snapshot becomes a useful operation in
preparing that snapshot for being a future reversion target.
The code for the new flag is simple - it's one less deletion.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY): New flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotDelete): Document it, and
enforce mutual exclusion.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Implement
it.
