Not sure what the problem with passing BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH to drivers that aren’t the COR filter are would be, but: Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mre...@redhat.com> (I mean, outside of the context of COR the flag is undefined, so it can be anything, but intuitively I’d assume it means “no need to read the data to memory” then, too. So if a driver doesn’t support it, nothing bad should happen. Hm. Well, unless the driver passes the flag on (unsuspectingly) and a metadata-bearing child doesn’t return any data that the drviver needs. Yeah, better to explicitly disallow the flag for all unsupporting drivers then.)
