[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Two simple sparse streams fixes

[Michal Privoznik]

I've been experimenting with sparse streams and found a bug. If you try to
download a volume which doesn't support sparseness here's what happens:

# virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/blah.raw

# echo $?
0
# ls -lhs /mnt/floppy/bla.raw
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 30 12:40 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw

That's not good. iSCSI doesn't know anything about sparseness so an error is
expected here. Fortunately, the fix is fairly simple:

# virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw
error: cannot close volume /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0
error: Unable to seek to data: Invalid argument
