[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/2] qemu-io: check the size of the I/O requests

[Alberto Garcia]

Hi,

qemu-io allows arbitrary values (up to SIZE_MAX) for the size of its
I/O requests, but QEMU cannot handle anything larger than INT_MAX.

   $ qemu-io -c 'aio_write 0 2G' hd.qcow2
   block/block-backend.c:1035: blk_aio_write_entry:
   Assertion `!rwco->qiov || rwco->qiov->size == acb->bytes' failed.

   $ qemu-io -c 'aio_read 0 1G 1G' hd.qcow2
   block/block-backend.c:1024:
   blk_aio_read_entry: Assertion `rwco->qiov->size == acb->bytes' failed.

This series checks that those values are within range and also adds
assertions to qemu_iovec_add() and qemu_iovec_init_external() to
detect these cases earlier.

Regards,

Berto
