If the flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH was set, pass it further to the

When BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH is passed, qiov may be (and generally should be) NULL. This means, that we can't just drop the flag when call the driver that doesn't support it.
Actually, if driver doesn't support the PREFETCH flag we should do nothing.
Ah, OK. I see. I expected this to be a separate patch. I still wonder
why it isn’t.
Could it be part of patch 07? I mean introduce new field supported_read_flags and handle it in generic code in one patch, prior to implementing support for it in COR driver.
We have to add the supported flags for the COR driver in the same patch. Or before handling the supported_read_flags at the generic layer (handling zero does not make a sence). Otherwise, the test #216 (where the COR-filter is applied) will not pass.
Andrey
I have found a workaround and am going to send all the related patches as a separate series.
What is the problem?
If in a separate patch prior to modifying COR driver, we add new field supported_read_flags and add a support for it in generic layer, when no driver support it yet, nothing should be changed and all tests should pass..
