[Qemu-block] [PATCH v12 15/16] qcow2: Force "no other writer" lock on bs


From: Fam Zheng
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH v12 15/16] qcow2: Force "no other writer" lock on bs->file
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 20:30:55 +0800

Writing to the same qcow2 file from two QEMU processes at the same time
will never work correctly, so disable it even when the caller specifies
BDRV_O_RDWR.

Other formats are less vulnerable because they don't have internal
snapshots thus qemu-img is less often misused to create live snapshot.
