Subject: [PATCH v2] block/blkio: do not use open flags in qemu_open()
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 09:48:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230726074807.14041-1-sgarzare@redhat.com> (raw)

qemu_open() in blkio_virtio_blk_common_open() is used to open the
character device (e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0 or /dev/vfio/vfio) or in
the future eventually the unix socket.

In all these cases we cannot open the path in read-only mode,
when the `read-only` option of blockdev is on, because the exchange
of IOCTL commands for example will fail.

In order to open the device read-only, we have to use the `read-only`
property of the libblkio driver as we already do in blkio_file_open().

Fixes: cad2ccc395 ("block/blkio: use qemu_open() to support fd passing for virtio-blk")
