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.

We have the following matrix of possible arguments handled by the logic statement touched by this patch: | flags & _REUSE_EXT | !(flags & _REUSE_EXT) -------+--------------------+---------------------- format| (1) | (2) -------+--------------------+---------------------- !format| (3) | (4) -------+--------------------+---------------------- In cases 1 and 2 the user provided a format, in cases 3 and 4 not. The user requests to use a pre-existing image in 1 and 3 and libvirt will create a new image in 2 and 4. The difference between cases 3 and 4 is that for 3 the format is probed from the user-provided image, whereas in 4 we just use the existing disk format. The current code would treat cases 1,3 and 4 correctly but in case 2 the format provided by the user would be ignored. The particular piece of code was broken in commit |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
