From da888d37b0b85fc23e4ea55ab8b0c482d4918afb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2013 12:28:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block/raw-posix: detect readonly Linux block devices using BLKROGET Linux block devices can be set read-only with "blockdev --setro ". The same thing can be done for LVM volumes using "lvchange --permission r ". This read-only setting is independent of device node permissions. Therefore the device can still be opened O_RDWR but actual writes will fail. This results in odd behavior for QEMU. bdrv_open() is supposed to fail if a read-only image is being opened with BDRV_O_RDWR. By not failing for Linux block devices, the guest boots up but every write produces an I/O error. This patch checks whether the block device is read-only so that Linux block devices behave like regular files.
