Doc Text:
Cause: If a backing chain element would contain an invalid gluster URI (lacking the path component) libvirt would try to access it. Consequence: Libvirt would try to access the missing part of the URI and crash. Fix: Error is reported in case an invalid gluster source URI is passed to libvirt.

Verified with libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7_1.2.x86_64

Steps as following:
1.create gluster.img and rewrite it using a gluster path lacking of volume as backing file.

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img 100M
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img', fmt=qcow2 size=104857600 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off 

# qemu-img rebase -u -f qcow2 -F raw -b gluster://10.66.4.164 /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img 

2.# qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img
image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 100M (104857600 bytes)
disk size: 196K
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: gluster://10.66.4.164
backing file format: raw
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false

3. # ps -ef|grep libvirtd
root      1076     1  0 15:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd

# virsh pool-refresh default
error: Failed to refresh pool default
error: unsupported configuration: missing volume name and path for gluster volume

# ps -ef|grep libvirtd
root      1076     1  0 15:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd

Libvirtd does NOT crash.

4. remove gluster.img and start default pool
# rm /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img -f
# virsh pool-start default

5. create gluster.img and rewrite it using an valid path as backing file

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img 100M
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img', fmt=qcow2 size=104857600 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off 

# qemu-img rebase -u -f qcow2 -F raw -b gluster://10.66.4.164/vol/vol /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img 

6. # virsh pool-refresh default
Pool default refreshed

7. # virsh vol-list default | grep gluster
 gluster.img          /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster.img

As libvirtd does NOT crash again, mark it as verified
