[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] block: add resize monitor command

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

Add a monitor command that allows resizing of block devices while
qemu is running.  It uses the existing bdrv_truncate method already
used by qemu-img to do it's work.  Compared to qemu-img the size
parsing is very simplicistic, but I think having a properly numering
object is more useful for non-humand monitor users than having
the units and relative resize parsing.

For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by
doing the following shell command:

	echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan

For ATA devices I don't know of a way to update the block device
size in Linux system, and for virtio-blk the next two patches
will provide an automatic update of the size when this command
is issued on the host.

+Resize a block image while a guest is running.  Usually requires guest
+action to see the updated size.  Resize to a lower size is supported,
+but should be used with extreme caution.  Note that this command only
+resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.
