This series introduces a bottom intermediate node that eliminates the dependency on the base that may change while stream job is running. It happens when stream/commit parallel jobs are running on the same backing chain. The base node of the stream job may be a top node of the parallel commit job and can change before the stream job is completed. We avoid that dependency by introducing the bottom node.
v3: bottom = bdrv_find_overlay() moved into the stream_start() v2: The function bdrv_find_overlay() with the same functionality has been used in the qmp_block_stream() to find a bottom node. The algorithm in the bdrv_do_is_allocated_above() was simplified. The commit messages were modified.
