Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] Clean-up a little bit the RW related


From: Jamie Lokier
Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] Clean-up a little bit the RW related bits of BDRV_O_FLAGS. BDRV_O_RDONLY gone (and so is BDRV_O_ACCESS). Default value for bdrv_flags (0/zero) is READ-ONLY. Need to explicitly request READ-WRITE.

To avoid confusion, why don't we just call the flag BDRV_O_WRITABLE.
Then it's obvious what clearing that flag means.
