The copy-on-read drive must not request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission for its child if the node is inactive, otherwise starting a migration destination with -incoming will fail because the child cannot provide write access yet: qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev copy-on-read,file=img,node-name=cor: Block node is read-only Earlier QEMU versions additionally ran into an abort() on the migration source side: bdrv_inactivate_recurse() failed to update permissions. This is silently ignored today because it was only supposed to loosen restrictions.
