block: Allow freezing BdrvChild links
Our permission system is useful to define what operations are allowed on a certain block node and includes things like BLK_PERM_WRITE or BLK_PERM_RESIZE among others. One of the permissions is BLK_PERM_GRAPH_MOD which allows "changing the node that this BdrvChild points to". The exact meaning of this has never been very clear, but it can be understood as "change any of the links connected to the node". This can be used to prevent changing a backing link, but it's too coarse. This patch adds a new 'frozen' attribute to BdrvChild, which forbids detaching the link from the node it points to, and new API to freeze and unfreeze a backing chain. After this change a few functions can fail, so they need additional checks. Signed-off-by: Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
