[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1] drivers/vhost/blk: fail guest writes to a read-only backend

[Alexander Ivanov <alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>]

When a disk is attached read-only, QEMU opens the backing block device
O_RDONLY and advertises VIRTIO_BLK_F_RO. vhost_blk_set_backend() checks
only that the fd is a block device, and requests are submitted as bios
straight to the bdev, so a guest that ignores VIRTIO_BLK_F_RO and sends
VIRTIO_BLK_T_OUT gets VIRTIO_BLK_S_OK and modifies the disk.

Complete VIRTIO_BLK_T_OUT with VIRTIO_BLK_S_IOERR when the backend file
lacks FMODE_WRITE or the bdev itself is read-only, as the userspace
virtio-blk device does. The bdev is checked per request since it can be
switched read-only at runtime. Flush stays allowed: it does not modify
data.
