[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/4] block/copy-on-read: Fix permissions for inactive node

[Kevin Wolf]

The copy-on-read drive must not request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission
for its child if the node is inactive, otherwise starting a migration
destination with -incoming will fail because the child cannot provide
write access yet:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev copy-on-read,file=img,node-name=cor: Block node 
is read-only

Earlier QEMU versions additionally ran into an abort() on the migration
source side: bdrv_inactivate_recurse() failed to update permissions.
This is silently ignored today because it was only supposed to loosen
restrictions. This is the symptom that was originally reported here:
