Hello Everyone, A while ago Kevin noticed that the replication driver doesn't properly attach the children it wants to use. Instead, it directly copies the BdrvChilds from it's backing file, which is wrong. Ths Patchset fixes the problem, fixes a potential crash in replication_co_writev due to missing permissions and removes a workaround that was put in place back then. Tested with full COLO-migration setup in my COLO testsuite. Regards, Lukas Straub Changes: -v6: -Drop "replication: Assert that children are writable" -Added Reviewed-by tags -v5: -Assert that children are writable where it's needed -v4: -minor style fixes -clarify why children areguaranteed to be writable in "replication: Remove workaround" -Added Reviewed-by tags -v3: -Split up into multiple patches -Remove s->active_disk -Clarify child permissions in commit message -v2: Test for BDRV_CHILD_PRIMARY in replication_child_perm, since bs->file might not be set yet.
