file-posix: Do runtime check for ofd lock API
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is reported that on Windows Subsystem for Linux, ofd operations fail
with -EINVAL. In other words, QEMU binary built with system headers that
exports F_OFD_SETLK doesn't necessarily run in an environment that
actually supports it:

$ qemu-system-aarch64 ... -drive file=test.vhdx,if=none,id=hd0 \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd0
qemu-system-aarch64: -drive file=test.vhdx,if=none,id=hd0: Failed to unlock byte 100
qemu-system-aarch64: -drive file=test.vhdx,if=none,id=hd0: Failed to unlock byte 100
qemu-system-aarch64: -drive file=test.vhdx,if=none,id=hd0: Failed to lock byte 100

As a matter of fact this is not WSL specific. It can happen when running
a QEMU compiled against a newer glibc on an older kernel, such as in
a containerized environment.

Let's do a runtime check to cope with that.
