[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 6/6] file-posix: Add dynamic-auto-read-only QAPI feature

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

In commit 23dece19da4 ('file-posix: Make auto-read-only dynamic') ,
auto-read-only=on changed its behaviour in file-posix for the 4.0
release. This change cannot be detected through the usual mechanisms
like schema introspection. Add a new feature flag to the schema to
allow libvirt to detect the presence of the new behaviour.

+# Features:
+# @dynamic-auto-read-only: If present, enabled auto-read-only means that the
+#                          driver will open the image read-only at first,
+#                          dynamically reopen the image file read-write when
+#                          the first writer is attached to the node and reopen
+#                          read-only when the last writer is detached. This
+#                          allows to give QEMU write permissions only on demand
+#                          when an operation actually needs write access.
