[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/9] block: BLK_PERM_WRITE includes ..._UNCHANGED

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

Currently we never actually check whether the WRITE_UNCHANGED
permission has been taken for unchanging writes.  But the one check that
is commented out checks both WRITE and WRITE_UNCHANGED; and considering
that WRITE_UNCHANGED is already documented as being weaker then WRITE,
we should probably explicitly document WRITE to include WRITE_UNCHANGED.
