-Subject: [PATCH] block/io: accept NULL qiov in bdrv_pad_request
-
-Some operations, e.g. block-stream, perform reads while discarding the
-results (only copy-on-read matters). In this case they will pass NULL as
-the target QEMUIOVector, which will however trip bdrv_pad_request, since
-it wants to extend its passed vector.
-
-Simply check for NULL and do nothing, there's no reason to pad the
-target if it will be discarded anyway.
