I believe the reason why this was allowed was so that you can use a
read-only file with -snapshot. It might not be necessary any more since
I switched -snapshot implementation to modify the options QDict instead
of manually doing a second bdrv_open().
Did you test that this still works now?
The other question is about this code in bdrv_open_flags():
/*
* Snapshots should be writable.
*/
if (bs->is_temporary) {
open_flags |= BDRV_O_RDWR;
}
Is this dead code now because the flag is always already set?
