It _is_ possible to set up a format node on top of another; in fact, our testsuite does that in at least iotest 072. I agree that setups like 'qcow2 - qcow2 - file' are uncommon, but the setup 'qcow2 - raw - file' may be useful for extracting a partition of a raw disk when it is known that the partition in that disk itself contains qcow2 data. > > Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> > --- > +++ b/include/block/block_int.h > @@ -94,6 +94,13 @@ struct BlockDriver { > * must implement them and return -ENOTSUP. > */ > bool is_filter; > + /* > + * Set to true if the BlockDriver is a format driver.

Aha - nested formats ARE still allowed when you explicitly request it (which is what iotest 72 does) - what you are stating here is that implicit probing of is forbidden for a parent declared as a format driver. That makes more sense. I'm not sure if the commit message needs a tweak, but the patch itself is sane as-is.

That is, it isn’t what we should strive to do by default. (Trying to do format probing inside of an already probed format would be a security risk, actually.) > in fact, our > testsuite does that in at least iotest 072.

I suppose I could add a sentence like “... they do not expect other format nodes under them (...). That is, we must not probe formats inside of formats.” > Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Thanks for reviewing! Max

We want to unify child_format and child_file at some point.
