    qemu: block: Use 'auto-read-only' instead of 'read-only' for backing chain · 2c4c347c
    Peter Krempa 提交于
    To allow using -blockdev with blockjobs QEMU needs to reopen files in
    read-write mode when modifying the backing chain. To achieve this we
    need to use 'auto-read-only' for the backing files rather than the
    normal 'read-only' property. That way qemu knows that the files need to
    be reopened.
    
    Note that the format drivers (e.g. qcow2) are still opened with the
    read-only property enabled when being a member of the backing chain
    since they are supposed to be immutable unless a block job is started.
    
    QEMU v4.0 (since commit 23dece19da4) allows also dynamic behaviour for
    auto-read-only which allows us to use sVirt as we only grant write
    permissions to files when doing a blockjob.
