From 418690447a5340050e64efc3c811fd30d9e96e5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 12:59:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix snapshot=on with aio=native snapshot=on creates a temporary overlay that is always opened with cache=unsafe (the cache mode specified by the user is only for the actual image file and its children). This means that we must not inherit the BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO flag for the temporary overlay because trying to use Linux AIO with cache=unsafe results in an error. Reproducer without this patch: $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/tmp/test.qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,snapshot=on qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/test.qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,snapshot=on: aio=native was specified, but it requires cache.direct=on, which was not specified.
