Eric Blake e6bcbcd32c qemu: reject rather than hang on blockcommit of active layer
qemu 2.0 added the ability to commit the active layer, but slightly
differently than what libvirt had been anticipating in its
implementation of the virDomainBlockCommit call.  As a result, if
you attempt to do a 'virsh blockcommit $dom vda', qemu gets into a
state where it is waiting on libvirt to end the job, while libvirt
is waiting on qemu to end the job, and the guest is effectively
hung with regards to further commands for that block device.

I have patches coming down the pipeline that will add full support
for blockcommit of the active layer when coupled with qemu 2.0 or
later; but they depend on Peter's improvements to block job handling
and form enough of a new feature that they are not ready for
inclusion in the 1.2.5 release.  So for now, just reject the
attempt, rather than letting the user get stuck.  This is no worse
than the behavior of qemu 1.7 rejecting the job.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Reject active
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.

Description
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.
