[Qemu-devel] [PATCH stable-1.1 01/26] virtio-blk: Fix geometry sector calculation

[Michael Roth]

From: Christian Borntraeger <address@hidden>

Currently the sector value for the geometry is masked, even if the
user usesa command line parameter that explicitely gives a number.
This breaks dasd devices on s390. A dasd device can have
a physical block size of 4096 (== same for logical block size)
and a typcial geometry of 15 heads and 12 sectors per cyl.
The ibm partition detection relies on a correct geometry
reported by the device. Unfortunately the current code changes
12 to 8. This would be necessary if the total size is
not a multiple of logical sector size,  but for dasd this
is not the case.

This patch checks the device size and only applies sector
mask if necessary.
