Subject: [PATCH] block/vvfat: Fix ro shared folder
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2021 16:17:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210831141727.347597-1-groche@genymobile.com> (raw)

QEMU exits in error when passing a vfat shared folder in read-only mode.

To fix this issue, this patch removes any potential write permission
from cumulative_perms, when a read-only block device is in use.

This is an attempt to fix this behavior, but it feels a bit hacky to me
since this patch checks for the vvfat format in a generic function.

However, I'd be glad to have some advice to make it better. Anyway, I
ran the block tests to ensure this does not introduce any regression.

To add some context: I know that this can be worked around by setting 
the shared folder in rw mode. But our use-case requires using both
shared and VM snapshots, and QEMU prevents using snapshot with a rw 
shared folder.
