Thanks, applied to the block branch.

[Qemu-block] [PATCH for-2.10? v3 0/2] block: Do OFD lock check at runtime

2017-08-11 Thread Fam Zheng
v3: Fix mingw build. [patchew]

v2: Probe /dev/null to save LOC. [Eric]
Mention "new glibc + old kernel" in commit message. [Kevin, Daniel, Eric,
Christian]

This fixes the image opening failure reported by Andrew Baumann:

It appears to be that the binary is built for Linux targets, but the WSL
runtime doesn't recognize the ops (-EINVAL).

This is also a practical problem for Linux considering it's possible to run
QEMU which is built against a new glibc on an old kernel that doesn't have OFD
API.

Convert to runtime check to cope with that.

Fam Zheng (2):
  osdep: Add runtime OFD lock detection
  file-posix: Do runtime check for ofd lock API
