When we use SCSI generic device as disk image, function lseek
could not get the size of this kind of device.
So try to use SCSI command Read Capacity(10) when lseek failed to get
the size of SCSI generic device.

Eww, this is ugly as hell.  Why would you even need the size for a raw
passthrough device?

If we want to enable snapshot for SCSI generic device as disk image, the
size of 
SCSI generic device is needed. Function lseek could not get this, SCSI
command 
can finish the job.
Only when lseek failed would Read Capacity command be sent.

You need to use scsi-block instead of scsi-generic.  However, I don't
see how this can work.  After the snapshot, the image will be qcow2, not
raw, and thus it will not support bdrv_aio_ioctl.  Hence any SCSI
command (for scsi-generic) or any non-data SCSI command (for scsi-block)
will fail.

Can you give an example of what exactly you are trying to do?

That's the issue what I also encountered.
Do you mean that it is impossible for us to enable snapshot for
scsi-generic?
Or patched for qcow2 would solve this?

I could enable snapshot for scsi-block
device, but failed when using scsi-generic with parameter 'snapshot =on'. 
The first issue is failing to get the size of SG device. So I tried to fix
it.

Command line:
-drive if=none,id=hd,file=/dev/sg2,snapshot=on \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi --enable-kvm \
-device scsi-generic,drive=hd,id=vd1

It's impossible, and rightly so: the user could anyway bypass the
snapshotting and write to the disk (WRITE SAME for example).

Not just snapshot=on, which fails because it is early enough that the
disk fails to initialize.  Live snapshots also ought to be blocked, it
is a bug that they are not.
