Basically we need to set everything that is retained after a 'change' command. We have this code in qmp_change_blockdev(): bdrv_flags = bdrv_is_read_only(bs) ? 0 : BDRV_O_RDWR; bdrv_flags |= bdrv_is_snapshot(bs) ? BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT : 0; qmp_bdrv_open_encrypted(bs, filename, bdrv_flags, drv, NULL, errp); bdrv_is_read_only() is covered by your patch, bdrv_is_snapshot() additionally requires bs->open_flags to be right. Markus, how will this look in the -blockdev world? There seem to be properties that belong to host state, but are not coupled to a medium.
