From 16fde5f2c2788232b16c06d34d0459a5c1ec1f6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 17:36:19 +0100 Subject: qcow2: Fix order in L2 table COW When copying L2 tables (this happens only with internal snapshots), the order wasn't completely safe, so that after a crash you could end up with a L2 table that has too low refcount, possibly leading to corruption in the long run. This patch puts the operations in the right order: First allocate the new L2 table and replace the reference, and only then decrease the refcount of the old table.
