+Subject: [PATCH] block: correctly set the keep_read_only flag
+
+I believe the bs->keep_read_only flag is supposed to reflect
+the initial open state of the device. If the device is initially
+opened R/O, then commit operations, or reopen operations changing
+to R/W, are prohibited.
+
+Currently, the keep_read_only flag is only accurate for the active
+layer, and its backing file. Subsequent images end up always having
+the keep_read_only flag set.
+
+For instance, what happens now:
+
+[ base ] kro = 1, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ snap-1 ] kro = 1, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ snap-2 ] kro = 0, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ active ] kro = 0, ro = 0
+
+What we want:
+
+[ base ] kro = 0, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ snap-1 ] kro = 0, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ snap-2 ] kro = 0, ro = 1
+ |
+ v
+[ active ] kro = 0, ro = 0
