It blocks device IO.

All bdrv_op_block_all/blk_op_block_all callers are taken care of:

- virtio_blk_data_plane_create
- virtio_scsi_hotplug

   Device creation, unblock it.

- bdrv_set_backing_hd

   Backing hd is not used by device, so blocking is OK.

- backup_start

   Blocking target when backup is running, unblock it.
Do you forget it?
Oh I think the commit log is wrong: the target image is only written to by
block job, there cannot be a device on it, so it it's similar to
bdrv_set_backing_hd.
Correction: if it's blockdev-backup, the target could have a device, in that
sense it should be unblocked like block_job_create(). I'll fix it.

Really? I think it makes sense not to allow I/O on a backup target. At least I can't imagine a use case where you'd want to do that... But that doesn't necessarily mean anything, of course.
