[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 1/2] raw-posix: warn about BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO if libaio is unavailable |
Date: |

raw-posix.c silently ignores BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO if libaio is unavailable.
It is confusing when aio=native performance is identical to aio=threads
because the binary was accidentally built without libaio.
Print a deprecation warning if -drive aio=native is used with a binary
that does not support libaio. There are probably users using aio=native
who would be inconvenienced if QEMU suddenly refused to start their
guests. In the future this will become an error.
