qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd allocates space if file_size == 0. If non-zero,
it uses the existing space and verifies it is large enough, but the
verification was broken when the offset parameter was introduced. As
a result, a file smaller than offset passes the verification and causes
errors later. Fix that, and update the error message to include offset.
Peter provides this concise reproducer:
$ touch ramfile
$ truncate -s 64M ramfile
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -object memory-backend-file,mem-path=./ramfile,offset=128M,size=128M,id=mem1,prealloc=on
qemu-system-x86_64: qemu_prealloc_mem: preallocating memory failed: Bad address
With the fix, the error message is:
qemu-system-x86_64: mem1 backing store size 0x4000000 is too small for 'size' option 0x8000000 plus 'offset' option 0x8000000
