The root issue appears to be that the block device associated with the partition does not have a "max_segments" attribute, and prior to this patch hdev_get_max_segment() would return -ENOENT in this case.  After this patch, however, QEMU is instead crashing.  It looks like g_file_get_contents is returning 0 with a len == 0 if the specified sysfs path does not exist.  The following diff on top seems to resolve the issue for me:

Hi Sam,

Ah, good point, I didn't notice file_get_contents was meant to be a bool return and wondered why I was getting a return of 0 in the failing case, hence the check for len == 0.

Anyway, yes, I verified that checking for ret == FALSE fixes the issue.  FWIW, along the same line I also checked that this works:

    if (!g_file_get_contents(sysfspath, val, &len, NULL)) {
        return -ENOENT;
    }

which I personally think looks cleaner and matches the other uses of g_file_get_contents in QEMU.  Could also get rid of ret and just return 0 at the bottom of the function.

Thanks,
Matt
