[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: Formats don't need CONSISTENT_READ with NO_IO

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Commit 1f4ad7d fixed 'qemu-img info' for raw images that are currently
in use as a mirror target. It is not enough for image formats, though,
as these still unconditionally request BLK_PERM_CONSISTENT_READ.

As this permission is meaningless unless you do actual I/O on the image,
drop the requirement and allow 'qemu-img info' even for image formats
under conditions where BLK_PERM_CONSISTENT_READ can't be granted.
