H A Dcurl.cdiff f785a5ae36c92fbeb8e0e8c9d71f5789cbce8b29 Mon Aug 15 04:00:34 CDT 2011 Nicholas Thomas <nick@bytemark.co.uk> block/curl: Handle failed reads gracefully.

Current behaviour if a read fails is for the acb to not get finished.
This causes an infinite loop in bdrv_read_em (block.c). The read failure
never gets reported to the guest and if the error condition clears, the
process never recovers.

With this patch, when curl reports a failure we finish the acb as a
failure. This results in the guest receiving an I/O error (rather than
the read hanging indefinitely) and if the error condition subsequently
clears, retries work as expected.

The simplest test is to put an ISO on a web server you have control over
and open it with qemu-io. Then move the ISO out of the way and attempt
to read some data - you should see behaviour matching the above.
