[Qemu-block] [PATCH] block: Don't lock /dev/null and /dev/zero automatic


From: Fam Zheng
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH] block: Don't lock /dev/null and /dev/zero automatically
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 11:41:18 +0800

On my Fedora 28, /dev/null is locked by some other process (couldn't
inspect it due to the current lslocks limitation), so iotests 226 fails
with some unexpected image locking errors because it uses qemu-io to
open it.

Actually it's safe to not use any lock on /dev/null or /dev/zero.
