When migrated using libvirt with "--copy-storage-all", at the end of
migration there is race between NBD mirroring task trying to do flush
and migration completion, both end up invalidating cache. Since qcow2
driver does not handle this situation very well, random crashes happen.

This disables the BDRV_O_INCOMING flag for the block device being migrated
and restores it when NBD task is done.

The commit log is not full and most likely incorrect as well
as the patch :) Please, help. Thanks!

The patch seems to fix the initial problem though.


btw is there any easy way to migrate one QEMU to another
using NBD (i.e. not using "migrate -b") and not using libvirt?
What would the command line be? Debugging with libvirt is real
pain :(
