From: Fam Zheng <f...@redhat.com> Opening the backing image for the second time is bad, especially here when it is also in use as the active image as the source. The drive-backup job itself doesn't read from target->backing for COW, instead it gets data from the write notifier, so it's not a big problem. However, exporting the target to NBD etc. won't work, because of the likely stale metadata cache.
Use BDRV_O_NO_BACKING in this case and manually set up the backing BdrvChild.
