[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/7] block: correctly set the keep_read_only flag

[Jeff Cody]

I believe the bs->keep_read_only flag is supposed to reflect
the initial open state of the device. If the device is initially
opened R/O, then commit operations, or reopen operations changing
to R/W, are prohibited.

Currently, the keep_read_only flag is only accurate for the active
layer, and its backing file. Subsequent images end up always having
the keep_read_only flag set.

For instance, what happens now:

[  base  ]  kro = 1, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ snap-1 ]  kro = 1, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ snap-2 ]  kro = 0, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ active ]  kro = 0, ro = 0

What we want:

[  base  ]  kro = 0, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ snap-1 ]  kro = 0, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ snap-2 ]  kro = 0, ro = 1
    |
    v
[ active ]  kro = 0, ro = 0
