[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1777232] [NEW] NVME fails on big writes |

Public bug reported:
NVME Compliance test 8:3.3.0 tries to write and read back big chunks of
pages. Currently, on the latest QEMU operation of size 1024 blocks will
fail when device is backed by a file.
NVME specification has several types of data transfers from guests, one
of the is the PRP list (Physical Region Page List). PRP is a list of
entries pointing to pages to be written. The list it self resides in a
single or multiple pages.
NVME device maps the PRP list into QEMUSGList which will be me mapped
into linux IO vectors. Finally, when the file driver will write the
changes, it uses the posix pwritev, which fails if the number of vectors
exceeds the maximum.
