It be a bit cleaner to make a helper to call the rbd_create() or
rbd_create3() so you only need one check of LIBRBD_VERSION_CODE.

It looks like v0.55 was the first release which contained rbd_create3(),
and the version code for that is 261, so the version code check is off
by one.

Patch

From 68e212483a43196626413f2e487e2d6bb9c69726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] rbd: Use rbd_create3 to create RBD format 2 images by
 default

This new RBD format supports snapshotting and cloning. By having
libvirt create images in format 2 end-users of the created images
can benefit of the new RBD format.
