[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] [block]: Skip refresh_total_sectors() for scsi-generic devices

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@linux-iscsi.org>]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

This patch adds a BlockDriverState->sg check in block.c:bdrv_common_open()
to skip the new refresh_total_sectors() call once we know we are working with
a scsi-generic device.

We go ahead and skip this call for scsi-generic devices because
block/raw-posix.c:raw_getlength() -> lseek() will return -ESPIPE.
