From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch adds a BlockDriverState->sg check in block.c:bdrv_common_open() to skip the new refresh_total_sectors() call once we know we are working with a scsi-generic device. We go ahead and skip this call for scsi-generic devices because block/raw-posix.c:raw_getlength() -> lseek() will return -ESPIPE. Signed-off-by: Nicholas A.
