[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/9] block: Add BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED flag


From: Max Reitz
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/9] block: Add BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED flag
Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2018 15:29:23 +0200

This flag signifies that a write request will not change the visible
disk content.  With this flag set, it is sufficient to have the
BLK_PERM_WRITE_UNCHANGED permission instead of BLK_PERM_WRITE.
