Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 00/20] flags cleanup

Beyond that, if we decide that a particular driver needs to pay attention to a flag, then we can later make a followup patch that restricts the flag for just that driver. Remember, read-only connections have already filtered out API calls from ever reaching driver callbacks in the first place. So, while it is conceivable that some drivers may need to do something different to connect to their hypervisor on a read-only connection, it appears that most (all?) drivers are just fine ignoring that piece of information from the connection (they behave the same whether read-only or read-write, for the callbacks that can actually be triggered on a read-only connection). -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
