From ca01f1b89b0884e39a58d8bc1d3fbd7ca91272a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2023 14:04:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] softmmu/physmem: Never return directories from file_ram_open() open() does not fail on directories when opening them readonly (O_RDONLY). Currently, we succeed opening such directories and fail later during mmap(), resulting in a misleading error message. $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 \ -object memory-backend-file,id=ram0,mem-path=tmp,readonly=true,size=1g qemu-system-x86_64: unable to map backing store for guest RAM: No such device To identify directories and handle them accordingly in file_ram_open() also when readonly=true was specified, detect if we just opened a directory using fstat() instead. Then, fail file_ram_open() right away, similarly to how we now fail if the file does not exist and we want to open the file readonly. With this change, we get a nicer error message: qemu-system-x86_64: can't open backing store tmp for guest RAM: Is a directory Note that the only memory-backend-file will end up calling memory_region_init_ram_from_file() -> qemu_ram_alloc_from_file() -> file_ram_open().
