Richard W.M. Jones 73ba05d936 block/raw-posix: Open file descriptor O_RDWR to work around glibc posix_fallocate emulation issue. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265196

The following command fails on an NFS mountpoint:

  $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc disk.img 262144
  Formatting 'disk.img', fmt=qcow2 size=262144 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off
  qemu-img: disk.img: Could not preallocate data for the new file: Bad file descriptor

The reason turns out to be because NFS doesn't support the
posix_fallocate call.  glibc emulates it instead.  However glibc's
emulation involves using the pread(2) syscall.  The pread syscall
fails with EBADF if the file descriptor is opened without the read
open-flag (ie. open (..., O_WRONLY)).

I contacted glibc upstream about this, and their response is here:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265196#c9

There are two possible fixes: Use Linux fallocate directly, or (this
fix) work around the problem in qemu by opening the file with O_RDWR
instead of O_WRONLY.
