Make bdrv_get_full_backing_filename() return an allocated string instead
of placing the result in a caller-provided buffer.

You're making it NULL, but it's NULL already.

Otherwise the patch looks fine.

Yes, so I hope the compiler can optimize it away. :-)

I initialized it to NULL here to make it more clear that under the given
condition we do not have a backing filename (so that it's clear from a
single look at this if-else block what exactly happens in each case
without having to know the state of variables beforehand).

So it was intentional, but I can either change it so that
backing_filename would no longer be initialized to NULL (meaning the
first "goto free_exit;" would need to be just a "return 0;") or make it
a comment (/* backing_filename is already NULL */). I'm leaning towards
the latter because it would mean less changes to this series, although I
personally think that simply explicitly setting backing_filename to NULL
instead of such a comment is just as good.

So if I have to send a v4 (which I probably will), I'll make it a
comment, but I probably won't send a v4 just for this (I'm sure there
are other good reasons, however :-)).

And thanks for reviewing!

Ok, I suspected that. Even if we keep it, I think it wouldn't be bad to
leave a comment saying that it's there on purpose and it's not being set
twice accidentally.

Otherwise whoever reads that code in the future might think that it's a
sign of a merge that wasn't carefully reviewed.

But I won't oppose if you prefer to leave it like that.
