qom-set of the 'drive' property is allowed on a realized device and ends
up in bdrv_replace_child_bs(), which swaps the node a BdrvChild points to
without telling the parent anything about it. Every other way the size of
a node changes goes through bdrv_co_truncate(), which does notify, so a
device model caching the size of its child has no way to learn that it
changed.

scsi-disk is the one really hurt by this. check_lba_range() validates
every guest request against SCSIDevice.max_lba, filled in by
scsi_disk_reset() and updated only by the READ CAPACITY(10) and (16)
handlers. Point a scsi-hd at a larger node and every request past the end
of the old one is refused with ILLEGAL REQUEST / LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS
OUT OF RANGE for the whole life of the device, which Linux turns into
EREMOTEIO for reads as well as writes. It is silent on the host:
out-of-range requests are answered by scsi_check_condition() and never
reach scsi_handle_rw_error(), so there is no BLOCK_IO_ERROR event and
io-status stays 'ok'. virtio-blk and ide call blk_get_geometry() for
every request, so they end up with a stale idea of the size but never
refuse I/O the node underneath can serve.
