Hi Kevin: Can you provide some information about the original bug which you want fix? the original comment: Usually guest devices don't like other writers to the same image, so they use blk_set_perm() to prevent this from happening. i don't find where the dest qemu will use blk_set_perm during migration. but after apply this patch, blkconf_apply_backend_options don't update the blk->root->perm.
