vpc: Don't round up already aligned BAT sizes

[PATCH for-5.0] vpc: Don't round up already aligned BAT sizes

Posted by Kevin Wolf 5 years, 7 months ago

As reported on Launchpad, Azure apparently doesn't accept images for
upload that are not both aligned to 1 MB blocks and have a BAT size that
matches the image size exactly.

As far as I can tell, there is no real reason why we create a BAT that
is one entry longer than necessary for aligned image sizes, so change
that.

(Even though the condition is only mentioned as "should" in the spec and
previous products accepted larger BATs - but we'll try to maintain
compatibility with as many of Microsoft's ever-changing interpretations
of the VHD spec as possible.)

So as far as I can tell we still don’t ensure that the image is aligned
to 1 MB blocks?

Well, as long as it’s at least possible for the user to create valid
images, that’s better.

And the old code just looks like a wrong DIV_ROUND_UP() attempt.  So:

Yes, we still allow other image sizes because Azure is not the only
product using VHD images, but it is the only one (to my knowledge) that
makes this requirement.

We're trying to stay compatible with at least three different Microsoft
products (VirtualPC, HyperV, Azure) that all have their own
interpretation of the spec and are inconsistent with each other.

OK, nice.  Thanks for the explanation!
