block: add block driver read only whitelist
We may want to include a driver in the whitelist for read only tasks such as diagnosing or exporting guest data (with libguestfs as a good example). This patch introduces a readonly whitelist option, and for backward compatibility, the old configure option --block-drv-whitelist is now an alias to rw whitelist. Drivers in readonly list is only permitted to open file readonly, and returns -ENOTSUP for RW opening. E.g. To include vmdk readonly, and others read+write: ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu \ --block-drv-rw-whitelist=qcow2,raw,file,qed \ --block-drv-ro-whitelist=vmdk Signed-off-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
