The footer->size appears to be double the 'real' size.  So I'm actually doing
the blow.  Does this seem sensible?

Doing it this way, trying to convert the image gives me '-EPERM' rather than
-EFBIG.  Not sure where we are best off catching that.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] vpc: accurately detect file size

VHD files technically can be up to 2Tb, but virtual pc uses CHS which
is limited to 127G.  Currently qemu-img refused to create vpc files > 127G,
but it reports any file >= 127G as being 127G.  If asked to convert such a
file, it creates a 127G (truncated) file without returning error.

This patch uses the size reported in the footer to detect whether the
size is > 127G, and reports the size stored in footer if so.

qemu-img info now reports the correct size.

qemu-img convert refuses, but returns -EPERM rather than -EFBIG.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/814222 for details.

Changelog: follow Kevin Wolf's suggestion for detecting true file size.

Double size sounds really weird. 'qemu-img create' uses the size in
bytes for it. Is that wrong?

Hm, any idea where the -EPERM (-1) comes from? Maybe wrong total_sectors
number you're calculating?

If footer->size is the double byte count, then it would be:;

+    if (footer->size / 2 > (uint64_t) 65536 * 16 * 255 * 512) {
+        bs->total_sectors = 512 * footer->size / 2;

Your calculation would assume that footer->size uses units of 256 bytes,
which appears rather unlikely.

Just looked it up in the spec:

"Current Size
This field stores the current size of the hard disk, in bytes, from the
perspective of the virtual machine.
This value is same as the original size when the hard disk is created.
This value can change depending on whether the hard disk is expanded."

And for the part about using CHS:

"When a hard disk is configured as an ATA hard disk, the CHS values
(that is, Cylinder, Heads, Sectors per track) are used by the ATA
controller to determine the size of the disk. When the user creates a
hard disk of a certain size, the size of the hard disk image in the
virtual machine is smaller than that created by the user. This is
because CHS value calculated from the hard disk size is rounded down."

No, vpc.c in some places just returns 0 or -1, while that return value is
taken to be a more meaningful errno by the caller.  -1 is EPERM.  That's
why my original patch had to return -EFBIG.

I'm just reporting the facts :)  The patch I sent ended up returning
the right size for 140G dynamic VHD image.

So given our fuzziness on the actual meanings, I think the right thing
to do is just:

	if (footer->size > 65536 * 16 * 255 * 2)
		return -EFBIG;
