[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] Error on O_DIRECT for physical CDROM/DVD drives

[Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com]

From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com>

O_DIRECT (cache=none) requires sector alignment, however the physical
sector size of CDROM/DVD drives is 2048, as opposed to most disk
devices which use 512. QEMU is hard coding 512 all over the place, so
allowing O_DIRECT for CDROM/DVD devices does not work.

Return -ENOTSUP from cdrom_open() in this case.
