In case when a user starts a block copy operation with VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SHALLOW and VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_REUSE_EXT and both the reused image and the original disk have a backing image libvirt specifically does not insert the backing image until after the job is asked to be completed via virBlockJobAbort with VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT. This is so that management applications can copy the backing image on the background. Now when a user aborts the block job instead of cancelling it we'd ignore the fact that we didn't insert the backing image yet and the cancellation would result into a 'blockdev-del' of a invalid node name and thus an 'error' severity entry in the log. To solve this issue we use the same conditions when the backing image addition is avoided to remove the internal state for them prior to the call to unplug the mirror destination.

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.
