Eric Blake 14f16bf947 qemu-img: Support bitmap --merge into backing image
If you have the chain 'base.qcow2 <- top.qcow2' and want to merge a
bitmap from top into base, qemu-img was failing with:

qemu-img: Could not open 'top.qcow2': Could not open backing file: Failed to get shared "write" lock
Is another process using the image [base.qcow2]?

The easiest fix is to not open the entire backing chain of either
image (source or destination); after all, the point of 'qemu-img
bitmap' is solely to manipulate bitmaps directly within a single qcow2
image, and this is made more precise if we don't pay attention to
other images in the chain that may happen to have a bitmap by the same
name.

However, note that on a case-by-case analysis, there _are_ times where
we treat it as a feature that we can access a bitmap from a backing
layer in association with an overlay BDS.  A demonstration of this is
using NBD to expose both an overlay BDS (for constant contents) and a
bitmap (for learning which blocks are interesting) during an
incremental backup:

Base <- Active <- Temporary
          \--block job ->/

where Temporary is being fed by a backup 'sync=none' job.  When
exposing Temporary over NBD, referring to a bitmap that lives only in
Active is less effort than having to copy a bitmap into Temporary [1].
So the testsuite additions in this patch check both where bitmaps get
allocated (the qemu-img info output), and that qemu-nbd is indeed able
to access a bitmap inherited from the backing chain since it is a
different use case than 'qemu-img bitmap'.

[1] Full disclosure: prior to the recent commit 374eedd1c4 and
friends, we were NOT able to see bitmaps through filters, which meant
that we actually did not have nice clean semantics for uniformly being
able to pick up bitmaps from anywhere in the backing chain (seen as a
change in behavior between qemu 4.1 and 4.2 at commit 00e30f05de, when
block-copy swapped from a one-off to a filter).  Which means libvirt
was already coded to copy bitmaps around for the sake of older qemu,
even though modern qemu no longer needs it.  Oh well.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===

* Intro

This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries.  This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.

* Usage

Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format.  The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.

* Feedback and patches

Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
