[PATCH 2/5] conf: fix detection of infinite backing loop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While trying to refactor the backing file chain, I noticed that
if you have a self-referential qcow2 file via a relative name:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 loop 10M
qemu-img rebase -u -f qcow2 -F qcow2 -b loop loop

then libvirt was creating a chain 2 deep before realizing it
had hit a loop; furthermore, virStorageFileChainCheckBroken
was not identifying the chain as broken.  With this patch,
the loop is detected when the chain is only 1 deep; still
enough for storage volume XML to display the file, but now
with a proper error report about where the loop was found.

* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse):
Mark chain broken if OOM or infinite loop occurs.
