Subject: [PATCH] block: Don't check permissions for copy on read
5dd6a7
5dd6a7
The assertion is currently failing. We can't require callers to have
5dd6a7
write permissions when all they are doing is a read, so comment it out.
5dd6a7
Add a FIXME comment in the code so that the check is re-enabled when
5dd6a7
copy on read is refactored into its own filter driver.
