block: Let bdrv_open_inherit() return the snapshot
If bdrv_open_inherit() creates a snapshot BDS and *pbs is NULL, that snapshot BDS should be returned instead of the BDS under it. This has worked so far because (nearly) all users of BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT use blk_new_open() to create the BDS tree. bdrv_append() (which is called by bdrv_append_temp_snapshot()) redirects pointers from parents (i.e. the BB in this case) to the newly appended child (i.e. the overlay), therefore, while bdrv_open_inherit() did not return the root BDS, the BB still pointed to it. The only instance where BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT is used but blk_new_open() is not is in blockdev_init() if no BDS tree is created, and instead blk_new() is used and the flags are stored in the BB root state. However, qmp_blockdev_change_medium() filters the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT flag before invoking bdrv_open(), so it will not have any effect. In any case, it would be nicer if bdrv_open_inherit() could just always return the root of the BDS tree that has been created. To this end, bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() now returns the snapshot BDS instead of just appending it on top of the snapshotted BDS. Also, it calls bdrv_ref() before bdrv_append() (which bdrv_open_inherit() has to undo if not returning the overlay). Signed-off-by:Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:
