Take into account the fact that a block filter like quorum will be in bs->file
while a regular block driver device is really on the top level.

With this change, if the top level driver has ->file, its implementation of
.bdrv_recurse_is_first_non_filter() is skipped and bs->file is the start point.

So we have an implication that single child block drivers (that has ->file)
doesn't need to, and shouldn't implement this operation, as commentted above
bdrv_generic_is_first_non_filter.

Tested that this patch fixes the external snapshot problem, but didn't test
the "quorum as bs->file case".

Thanks,

After extensive testing of all type of quorum instanciations and snapshots I
discovered that we are not done yet with this issue.

When instantiating quorum from the command line the quorum driver is in
bs->file->drv.
When using QMP's blockdev_add at once or by using references the quorum driver
is in bs->drv.

As a result this patch work in half the cases: regular file and command line
quorum but not when quorum is instantiated via QMP.

I don't understand why the block layer have this irregular behavior regarding
quorum instantiation.

What would be the best way to fix this ?

Best regards

I have a pending resping of this patch which tests for the two cases as a
workaround.

Should I post it ?

I found that the used the command line init in a wrong way.
I will repost an updated version of the patch.

Quorum will need to be reposted since one commit message showed the wrong way of
doing the initialization.

I'm pretty sure this is a user error.

Command line and blockdev-add are pretty much equivalent, they even use
exactly the same code path once they have converted their input into an
options QDict.

Both ways should be able to instantiate both setups you mentioned. This
is required, because these setups have different semantics: quorum above
qcow2 redirects and compares the guest data, whereas below qcow2 it
redirects image file accesses including metadata).
