[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: saner flags filtering in bdrv_open2

[Christoph Hellwig]

Clean up the current mess about figuring out which flags to pass to the
driver.  BDRV_O_FILE, BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT and BDRV_O_NO_BACKING are flags
only used by the block layer internally so filter them out directly.
Previously BDRV_O_NO_BACKING could accidentally be passed to the drivers,
but wasn't ever used.
