When a backing file is opened such that (1) a protocol is directly
used as the block driver and (2) the block driver has bdrv_file_open,
bdrv_open_backing_file segfaults. The problem arises because
bdrv_open_common returns without setting bd->backing_hd->file.
To effect (1), you seem to have to use the -F flag in qemu-img. There
are several block drivers that satisfy (2), such as "file" and "nbd".
Here are some concrete examples:
#!/bin/bash
echo Test file format
./qemu-img create -f file base.file 1m
./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F file -o backing_file=base.file\
file-overlay.qcow2
./qemu-img convert -O raw file-overlay.qcow2 file-convert.raw
echo Test nbd format
SOCK=$PWD/nbd.sock
./qemu-img create -f raw base.raw 1m
./qemu-nbd -t -k $SOCK base.raw &
trap "kill $!" EXIT
while ! test -e $SOCK; do sleep 1; done
./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F nbd -o backing_file=nbd:unix:$SOCK\
nbd-overlay.qcow2
./qemu-img convert -O raw nbd-overlay.qcow2 nbd-convert.raw
Without this patch, the two qemu-img convert commands segfault.
This is a regression that was introduced in v1.7 by
dbecebddfa.
