[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 03/14] block: Default to enabled write cache in blk_new()

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

The existing users of the function are:

1. blk_new_open(), which already enabled the write cache
2. Some test cases that don't care about the setting
3. blockdev_init() for empty drives, where the cache mode is overridden
   with the value from the options when a medium is inserted

Therefore, this patch doesn't change the current behaviour. It will be
convenient, however, for additional users of blk_new() (like block
jobs) if the most sensible WCE setting is the default.
