You probably need to rebase and get rid of this bdrv_unref() : check Max series to be sure. > bs->open_flags |= BDRV_O_NO_BACKING; > error_setg(errp, "Could not open backing file: %s", > error_get_pretty(local_err)); > error_free(local_err); > return ret; > } > - > - if (bs->backing_hd->file) { > - pstrcpy(bs->backing_file, sizeof(bs->backing_file), > - bs->backing_hd->file->filename); > - } > + bdrv_set_backing_hd(bs, backing_hd); > > /* Recalculate the BlockLimits with the backing file */ > bdrv_refresh_limits(bs); > diff --git a/include/block/block.h b/include/block/block.h > index 9125bbe..f449753 100644 > --- a/include/block/block.h > +++ b/include/block/block.h > @@ -208,6 +208,7 @@ int bdrv_file_open(BlockDriverState **pbs, const char > *filename, > int bdrv_open_image(BlockDriverState **pbs, const char *filename, > QDict *options, const char *bdref_key, int flags, > bool force_raw, bool allow_none, Error **errp); > +void bdrv_set_backing_hd(BlockDriverState *bs, BlockDriverState *backing_hd); > int bdrv_open_backing_file(BlockDriverState *bs, QDict *options, Error > **errp); > int bdrv_open(BlockDriverState *bs, const char *filename, QDict *options, > int flags, BlockDriver *drv, Error **errp); > -- > 1.8.5.3 > > bdrv_set_backing_hd seems to be handy since some people want to dynamically change backing_file using QMP to move them from slow storage to fast storage and the reverse.
