mirror: Fail gracefully for source == target
blockdev-mirror with the same node for source and target segfaults today: A node is in its own backing chain, so mirror_start_job() decides that this is an active commit. When adding the intermediate nodes with block_job_add_bdrv(), it starts the iteration through the subchain with the backing file of source, though, so it never reaches target and instead runs into NULL at the base. While we could fix that by starting with source itself, there is no point in allowing mirroring a node into itself and I wouldn't be surprised if this caused more problems later. So just check for this scenario and error out. Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
