[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 13/22] block: Allow recursive "file"s

[Max Reitz]

It should be possible to use a format as a driver for a file which in
turn requires another file, i.e., nesting file formats.

Allowing nested file formats results in e.g. qcow2 BlockDriverStates
never being directly passed to bdrv_open_common() from bdrv_file_open(),
but instead being handed through bdrv_open(). This changes the error
message when trying to give a filename to qcow2, i.e. trying to use it
as a driver for the protocol level. Therefore, change the reference
output of I/O test 051 accordingly.
