Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] qemu-xen-3.4-testing: Fix read-only image file h
Oh, just one more thing that should be mentioned:
When you want to mount an image that is set as read-only in the domain
configuration file but you omit to set mode to read-only it results into
I/O errors when processing the requests. Remounting as read-only or
unmounting and remounting using the `mount /dev/* /path/to/mount -o ro`
shall do the mounting the correct way, i.e. with no I/O errors, so make
sure you mount those disks as read-only otherwise you can be getting
errors like:
end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, sector 52
Buffer I/O error on device hdb1, logical block 1
lost page write due to I/O error on hdb1
and for IDE devices you'll be getting several additional DeviceFault
errors since mounting the device read-write (default setting) writes
some data onto a disk at the mount-time.

Hi,
this is the patch for qemu-xen-3.4-testing to fix the read-only
image file handling since the image file was always treated as
read-write which means that all the HVM guests were able to
write to all the disk images available in domain configuration
file no matter what the mode of the image was defined. This
patch fixes this functionality to honor the O_RDONLY in the
BDRV_O_ACCESS flag in block.c and also fixes the IDE and SCSI
interfaces that uses it.
It's been tested on RHEL-5 with xen-3.4-testing version of
upstream xen with xen-3.4-testing qemu implementation.
For SCSI devices the DATA PROTECT request sense has been added
as found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_Request_Sense_Command
file no matter what the mode of the image was defined. This
patch fixes this functionality to honor the O_RDONLY in the
BDRV_O_ACCESS flag in block.c and also fixes the IDE and SCSI
interfaces that uses it.
It's been tested on RHEL-5 with xen-3.4-testing version of
