03c320d803fd881736b63015048498cf97d410d3 block/file-*: *_parse_filename() and colons
The file drivers' *_parse_filename() implementations just strip the
optional protocol prefix off the filename. However, for e.g.
"file:foo:bar", this would lead to "foo:bar" being stored as the BDS's
filename which looks like it should be managed using the "foo" protocol.
This is especially troublesome if you then try to resolve a backing
filename based on "foo:bar".
This issue can only occur if the stripped part is a relative filename
("file:/foo:bar" will be shortened to "/foo:bar" and having a slash
before the first colon means that "/foo" is not recognized as a protocol
part). Therefore, we can easily fix it by prepending "./" to such
filenames.
Before this patch:
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 backing.qcow2 64M
Formatting 'backing.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864 encryption=off
cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b backing.qcow2 file:top:image.qcow2
Formatting 'file:top:image.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864
backing_file=backing.qcow2 encryption=off cluster_size=65536
lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
$ ./qemu-io file:top:image.qcow2
can't open device file:top:image.qcow2: Could not open backing file:
Unknown protocol 'top'
After this patch:
$ ./qemu-io file:top:image.qcow2
