XML metadata for snapshot contains only single list of disk overlays
from the moment when the snapshot was taken. When user creates multiple
branches of snapshots the parent snapshot will still list only the
original disk overlays. This may cause an issue in a specific scenario:
s1
|
+- s2
+- s3 (active)
For this snapshot topology when we delete s2 metadata for s1 are not
updated. Now when we delete s1 the code operated with incorrect
overlays from s1 metadata in order to update s3 metadata resulting in no
changes to s3 metadata.
Now when user tries to delete s3 it fails with following error:
error: Failed to delete snapshot s3
error: operation failed: snapshot VM disk source and parent disk source are not the same
For the actual deletion there is a code to figure out the correct disk
source but it was not used to update metadata as well. Due to reasons
how block commit in libvirt works we need to create a copy of that disk
source in order to have it available when updating metadata as the
original source will be freed at that point.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
