Use the whole file size if @size is not specified which is useful

This code needs to build on other platforms too. e.g. using mingw32:

Err... You did it on Windows? It's surprised that the file is only built
on Linux:
common-obj-$(CONFIG_LINUX) += hostmem-file.o

How it can happen...

I did it using mingw32. I don't remember what I did, but I probably tried
something stupid to test just the build of hostmem-file.o and didn't notice it
was conditional on CONFIG_LINUX. Sorry for the noise.


No problem. :)

I have another question: if our block device code at raw-posix.c doesn't need
the Linux-specific BLKGETSIZE64 call, why exactly do we need it in
hostmem-file.c? In which cases it would break without BLKGETSIZE64?

I guess the function at raw-posix.c did not realize it will work
on raw block device directly.

+        size = 0;
+    }

+    return size;
+}

This code seems to duplicate what block/raw-posix.c:raw_getlength() does
(except for the BLKGETSIZE64 part). Have you considered using the same
code for both?

We can probably move all the raw-posix.c raw_getlength(BlockDriverState
*bs) code to fd_getlength(int fd) functions (on osdep.c?), and just
implement raw-posix.c:raw_getlength(s) as fd_getlength(s->fd).


Actually, Paolo has the same suggestion before... but

I do not know if it's really worth doing it. :(

If hostmem-file.c is Linux-specific we don't need to move or reuse the code for
all the other 9 platforms right now, that's true. But now you are adding a new
arch-specific function that does exactly the same thing in a different file to
the mix. What if somebody want to make hostmem-file.c work in another platform
in the future, and begin to duplicate the same #ifdef mess from raw-posix.c?

I was considering this:

1) Move the arch-independent raw_getlength() code to fd_getlength() (at
osdep.c, maybe?), as:

int64_t fd_getlength(int fd)
{
     int64_t size;

     size = lseek(s->fd, 0, SEEK_END);
     if (size < 0) {
         return -errno;
     }
     return size;
}


2) Change the arch-independent version of raw_getlength() to:

[...]
#else
static int64_t raw_getlength(BlockDriverState *bs)
{
     BDRVRawState *s = bs->opaque;
     int ret;
     int64_t size;

     ret = fd_open(bs);
     if (ret < 0) {
         return ret;
     }

     return fd_getlength(s->fd);
}
#endif


3) Implement get_file_size() using fd_getlength():

uint64_t get_file_size(const char *file, Error **errp)
{
     struct stat stat_buf;
     int64_t size = 0;
     int fd;

     fd = open(file, O_RDONLY);
     if (fd < 0) {
         error_setg_errno(errp, errno, "can't open file %s", file);
         return 0;
     }

     size = fd_getlength(fd);
     if (size < 0) {
         error_setg_errno(errp, -size, "can't get size of file %s", file);
         size = 0;
     }

exit:
     close(fd);
     return size;
}


4) In case BLKGETSIZE64 is really necesary, add a Linux-specific block to
fd_getlength():

int64_t fd_getlength(int fd)
{
     int64_t size;

#ifdef CONFIG_LINUX
     struct stat stat_buf;
     if (fstat(fd, &stat_buf) < 0) {
         return -errno;
     }

     if ((S_ISBLK(stat_buf.st_mode)) && !ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, &size)) {
         if (size < 0) {
             return -EOVERFLOW;
         }
         return size;
     }
#endif

     size = lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
     if (size < 0) {
         return -errno;
     }

     return size;
}

People working on other platforms will be able to move arch-specific code to
fd_getlength() later, if they want to.


Fair enough to me and really smart. Will do it in next version.
