[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 09/21] block: Allow specifying child options in reopen

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

If the child was defined in the same context (-drive argument or
blockdev-add QMP command) as its parent, a reopen of the parent should
work the same and allow changing options of the child.
