From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> If mirror has more free buffers than IOV_MAX, preadv(2)/pwritev(2) EINVAL failures may be encountered.
It is possible to trigger this by setting granularity to a low value like 8192. This patch stops appending chunks once IOV_MAX is reached. The spurious EINVAL failure can be reproduced with a qcow2 image file and the following QMP invocation: qmp.command('drive-mirror', device='virtio0', target='/tmp/r7.s1', granularity=8192, sync='full', mode='absolute-paths', format='raw') While the guest is running dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/foo oflag=direct bs=4k.
