qemu-img: Allow target be aligned to sector size
We cannot write to images opened with O_DIRECT unless we allow them to be resized so they are aligned to the sector size: Since 9c60a5d1978, bdrv_node_refresh_perm() ensures that for nodes whose length is not aligned to the request alignment and where someone has taken a WRITE permission, the RESIZE permission is taken, too). Let qemu-img convert pass the BDRV_O_RESIZE flag (which causes blk_new_open() to take the RESIZE permission) when using cache=none for the target, so that when writing to it, it can be aligned to the target sector size. Without this patch, an error is returned: $ qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none foo.img /mnt/tmp/foo.img qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/tmp/foo.img': Cannot get 'write' permission without 'resize': Image size is not a multiple of request alignment Buglink: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1994266 Signed-off-by: Hanna Reitz <hreitz@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210819101200.64235-1-hreitz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>
