Subject: block: Open backing image in force share mode for size probe
X-Git-Tag: v2.12.0-rc0~174^2~22
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc954f01e3c004aad081aa36736a17e842b80211;p=users%2Fdwmw2%2Fqemu.git

block: Open backing image in force share mode for size probe

Management tools create overlays of running guests with qemu-img:

  $ qemu-img create -b /image/in/use.qcow2 -f qcow2 /overlay/image.qcow2

but this doesn't work anymore due to image locking:

    qemu-img: /overlay/image.qcow2: Failed to get shared "write" lock
    Is another process using the image?
    Could not open backing image to determine size.
Use the force share option to allow this use case again.
