From 046fd84facfc4d326070bf5306dd9cedb7bd9854 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2022 23:11:20 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] block: BlockDriver: add .filtered_child_is_backing field Unfortunately not all filters use .file child as filtered child. Two exclusions are mirror_top and commit_top. Happily they both are private filters. Bad thing is that this inconsistency is observable through qmp commands query-block / query-named-block-nodes. So, could we just change mirror_top and commit_top to use file child as all other filter driver is an open question. Probably, we could do that with some kind of deprecation period, but how to warn users during it? For now, let's just add a field so we can distinguish them in generic code, it will be used in further commits.
