[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 12/12] block: Allow backup on referenced named BlockDriverState

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

Drive backup is a read only operation on source bs. We want to allow
this specific case to enable image-fleecing. Note that when
image-fleecing job starts, the job still add its blocker to source bs,
and any other operation on it will be blocked by that.
