May be I am missing something, but I checked the flags with which
raw protocol driver opens the file image for different cache options
and this is what I found by looking at open flags in util/osdep.c:qemu_open()
(Ignoring O_CLOEXEC which is common for all the cases)
writethrough 02 O_RDWR
writeback 02 O_RDWR
none 040002 O_DIRECT|O_RDWR
directsync 040002 O_DIRECT|O_RDWR
unsafe 02 O_RDWR
I do see the below comment in block/raw-posix.c:raw_parse_flags()
/* Use O_DSYNC for write-through caching, no flags for write-back caching,
* and O_DIRECT for no caching. */
if ((bdrv_flags & BDRV_O_NOCACHE)) {
*open_flags |= O_DIRECT;
}
But I don't see the driver actually setting O_DSYNC anywhere.
