[PULL,21/32] qemu-img: Allow target be aligned to sector size

Commit Message

We cannot write to images opened with O_DIRECT unless we allow them to
be resized so they are aligned to the sector size: Since 9c60a5d1978,
bdrv_node_refresh_perm() ensures that for nodes whose length is not
aligned to the request alignment and where someone has taken a WRITE
permission, the RESIZE permission is taken, too).

Let qemu-img convert pass the BDRV_O_RESIZE flag (which causes
blk_new_open() to take the RESIZE permission) when using cache=none for
the target, so that when writing to it, it can be aligned to the target
sector size.

Without this patch, an error is returned:

$ qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none foo.img /mnt/tmp/foo.img
qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/tmp/foo.img': Cannot get 'write'
permission without 'resize': Image size is not a multiple of request
alignment
