On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image after a block commit. For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???), or a relative protocol pathname may have been used. In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does have that knowledge. With this extension to the block-commit api, the user is able to change the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit operation. This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest. If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image to modify in that case). If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was previously.
