Even if an op blocker is present for BLOCK_OP_TYPE_MIRROR_SOURCE,
it is checked a bit late and the result is that the target is
created even if drive-mirror subsequently fails.  Add an early
check to avoid this.

Do we need to hold the AioContext in order to check for op blockers?

In include/block/block_int.h, they are not in the "Protected by
AioContext lock" section.

What's the implication of the temporarily-extant target node that it
needs to be avoided so strictly?

Creating a file on disk, that no one will ever remvoe. :)

Fortunately libvirt's SELinux policy will probably prevent QEMU creating
it in the first place :-)

Well, calling drive-mirror without allowing QEMU to create the target
image would be a bit pointless, so I think we can assume that libvirt
did set up the file permission so that QEMU can create it. (Unless
mode=existing is used, but I understand that libvirt doesn't want to
create images with qemu-img, so that doesn't seem to be the case...)

I don't know if libvirt takes care to remove a potentially already
created file if the command then fails, but hopefully it does and the
patch is not actually needed with libvirt.

We use either mode=existing or mode=absolute-paths depending on what
the mgmt app asked for in the API call to libvirt. I'm still kind of
suprised if mode=absolute-paths will work because we ought to be
blocking the creation of the file AFAIK and we can't pre-label a file
that doesn't exist yet.

Daniel
