bdrv_check_perm in it's recursion checks each node in context of new
permissions for one parent, because of nature of DFS. It works well,
while children subgraph of top-most updated node is a tree, i.e. it
doesn't have any kind of loops. But if we have a loop (not oriented,
of course), i.e. we have two different ways from top-node to some
child-node, then bdrv_check_perm will do wrong thing:
top
| \
| |
v v
A B
| |
v v
node
It will once check new permissions of node in context of new A
permissions and old B permissions and once visa-versa. It's a wrong way
and may lead to corruption of permission system. We may start with
no-permissions and all-shared for both A->node and B->node relations
and finish up with non shared write permission for both ways.
The following commit will add a test, which shows this bug.
To fix this situation, let's really set BdrvChild permissions during
bdrv_check_perm procedure. And we are happy here, as check-perm is
already written in transaction manner, so we just need to restore
backed-up permissions in _abort.
