[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] block: add resize monitor command

[Christoph Hellwig]

Add a monitor command that allows resizing of block devices while
qemu is running.  It uses the existing bdrv_truncate method already
used by qemu-img to do it's work.  Compared to qemu-img the size
parsing is very simplicistic, but I think having a properly numering
object is more useful for non-humand monitor users than having
the units and relative resize parsing.

For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by
doing the following shell command:

        echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan

For ATA devices I don't know of a way to update the block device
size in Linux system, and for virtio-blk the next two patches
will provide an automatic update of the size when this command
is issued on the host.
