Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Stop recursive detection of image chains when an image is missing

Commit e0c469e58b93f852a72265919703cb6abd3779f8 that fixes the
detection
of image chain wasn't complete. Iteration through the backing image
chain has to stop at the last existing image if some of the images are
missing otherwise the backing chain that is cached contains entries with
paths being set to NULL resulting to:
error: Unable to allow access for disk path (null): Bad address
Fortunately stat() is kind enough not to crash when it's presented with
a NULL argument.
That's only true for stat() on Linux; other OSs are fully entitled to
crash, so this definitely needs fixing :)

Hmm, I'm wondering if this is the right place to fix it, or if we are
throwing away information too early. That is, are we sure it is not the
later client of the chain at fault for not recognizing
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE coupled with non-NULL backingStoreRaw as the key
for whether a backing file is missing? I'm guessing
domain_conf.c:virDomainDiskDefForeachPath would be the real function to
fix here.
