the $blockers parameter is currently only passed in replication contexts:

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-guest-common.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/AbstractConfig.pm;h=3d4fcbbf98553b1f4edc8f59307daae1cf1b8a2f;hb=HEAD#l1051

the expected behaviour is to
- fill $blockers with the snapshot names preventing the rollback, if there are any
- to die with an error message if rollback is not possible

the caller can then decide if they want to pass a $blockers reference, and upon
catching the error, inspect it to give a nicer error message.

you can see how the 'zfs' plugin handles it (the only one supporting replication
at the moment):

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-storage.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/Storage/ZFSPoolPlugin.pm;h=26fb0a4237e5c1013ebfa85ca2cc072c57d2c36f;hb=HEAD#l502

and model your implementation after its behaviour (of course, whether rolling
back is limited to the most recent snapshot like it is with ZFS is up to you
and your storage ;))

out of interest - is your plugin publicly available?
