Parts of the block layer treat BDS.backing_file as if it were whatever
the image header says (i.e., if it is a relative path, it is relative to
the overlay), other parts treat it like a cache for
bs->backing->bs->filename (relative paths are relative to the CWD).
Considering bs->backing->bs->filename exists, let us make it mean the
former.
Among other things, this now allows the user to specify a base when
using qemu-img to commit an image file in a directory that is not the
CWD (assuming, everything uses relative filenames).
Before this patch:
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 foo/bot.qcow2 1M
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b bot.qcow2 foo/mid.qcow2
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
$ ./qemu-img commit -b mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
qemu-img: Did not find 'mid.qcow2' in the backing chain of 'foo/top.qcow2'
$ ./qemu-img commit -b foo/mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
qemu-img: Did not find 'foo/mid.qcow2' in the backing chain of 'foo/top.qcow2'
$ ./qemu-img commit -b $PWD/foo/mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
qemu-img: Did not find '[...]/foo/mid.qcow2' in the backing chain of 'foo/top.qcow2'
After this patch:
$ ./qemu-img commit -b mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
Image committed.
$ ./qemu-img commit -b foo/mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
qemu-img: Did not find 'foo/mid.qcow2' in the backing chain of 'foo/top.qcow2'
$ ./qemu-img commit -b $PWD/foo/mid.qcow2 foo/top.qcow2
Image committed.
With this change, bdrv_find_backing_image() must look at whether the
user has overridden a BDS's backing file. If so, it can no longer use
bs->backing_file, but must instead compare the given filename against
the backing node's filename directly.
Note that this changes the QAPI output for a node's backing_file. We
had very inconsistent output there (sometimes what the image header
said, sometimes the actual filename of the backing image). This
inconsistent output was effectively useless, so we have to decide one
way or the other. Considering that bs->backing_file usually at runtime
contained the path to the image relative to qemu's CWD (or absolute),
this patch changes QAPI's backing_file to always report the
bs->backing->bs->filename from now on. If you want to receive the image
header information, you have to refer to full-backing-filename.
This necessitates a change to iotest 228. The interesting information
it really wanted is the image header, and it can get that now, but it
has to use full-backing-filename instead of backing_file. Because of
this patch's changes to bs->backing_file's behavior, we also need some
reference output changes.
Along with the changes to bs->backing_file, stop updating
BDS.backing_format in bdrv_backing_attach() as well. This way,
ImageInfo's backing-filename and backing-filename-format fields will
represent what the image header says and nothing else.
iotest 245 changes in behavior: With the backing node no longer
overriding the parent node's backing_file string, you can now omit the
@backing option when reopening a node with neither a default nor a
current backing file even if it used to have a backing node at some
point.
273 also changes: The base image is opened without a format layer, so
ImageInfo.backing-filename-format used to report "file" for the base
image's overlay after blockdev-snapshot. However, the image header
never says "file" anywhere, so it now reports $IMGFMT.

Currently, BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename() is supposed to both
refresh the filename (BDS.exact_filename) and set BDS.full_open_options.
Now that we have generic code in the central bdrv_refresh_filename() for
creating BDS.full_open_options, we can drop the latter part from all
BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename() implementations.
This also means that we can drop all of the existing default code for
this from the global bdrv_refresh_filename() itself.
Furthermore, we now have to call BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename()
after having set BDS.full_open_options, because the block driver's
implementation should now be allowed to depend on BDS.full_open_options
being set correctly.
Finally, with this patch we can drop the @options parameter from
BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename(); also, add a comment on this
function's purpose in block/block_int.h while touching its interface.
This completely obsoletes blklogwrite's implementation of
.bdrv_refresh_filename().

Instead of having every block driver which implements
bdrv_refresh_filename() copy all of the strong runtime options over to
bs->full_open_options, implement this process generically in
bdrv_refresh_filename().
This patch only adds this new generic implementation, it does not remove
the old functionality. This is done in a follow-up patch.
With this patch, some superfluous information (that should never have
been there) may be removed from some JSON filenames, as can be seen in
the change to iotests 110's and 228's reference outputs.
