RBD APIs don't allow us to write more than the size set with
rbd_create() or rbd_resize().
In order to support growing images (eg. qcow2), we resize the
image before write operations that exceed the current size.

v3:
  - add 'image_size' field in the BDRVRBDState to keep track of the
    current size of the RBD image [Jason, Kevin]

I think this should update bs->total_sectors, too.  In fact, I’m
wondering why you don’t just use bs->total_sectors (or bdrv_getlength(),
which returns bs->total_sectors * 512) instead of adding this new field?

Hi Max,
thanks for taking a look!

I used bs->total_sectors in the v2, but Jason pointed out a possible
issue with this, so I proposed to add a variable in the BDRVRBDState to
track the latest resize and Kevin acked [1].

IIUC what Kevin said on his comment, the 'bs->total_sectors' should be
updated by bdrv_co_write_req_finish(), for this reason I didn't update
it.

Ah, right!  Yeah, sure, now that I think about it, the block layer must
have general code for successful writes beyond EOF...  (Read: Now that
I’m pointed towards it...)

OK then; thanks for the patch, applied to my block branch:

Yeah, do you mean for example to call .bdrv_co_truncate() (or a new
callback implemented only in the driver that need to be resized like
rbd) in the bdrv_driver_pwritev() if we will write beyond EOF?

No, I just mean that in theory all drivers should support resizing by
writing beyond the EOF (in practice, it only matters for protocol
drivers).  The general block layer code needs to recognize this and
handle it as if the BDS was explicitly resized with bdrv_co_truncate().

And it does do that, specifically in bdrv_co_write_req_finish(), as you
wrote.
