Subject: [PATCH v7 12/25] parallels: Let image extensions work in RW mode
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 16:41:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903144143.2328870-13-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903144143.2328870-1-den@openvz.org>
From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>
Saving extensions is supported now, so we can let them work in
read-write mode as well.
The bounds check rejecting a Format Extension outside the image file
used to sit in the read-only branch of the condition. Perform it
unconditionally, as the extension is now read in both modes.
A loaded bitmap was marked read-only unconditionally, guarded by an
assert that the image is not writable. Mark it so for a read-only node
only, as qcow2_load_dirty_bitmaps() does, or the next inactivation
fails with "No write access". The condition is read-only alone rather
than the full write access qcow2 asks about, as an inactive node can
become writable later and parallels has no path which would clear the
flag again. Mark the bitmap persistent as well, or it disappears from
the image the first time it is written out.
An unreadable extension must not keep the image shut. Its clusters are
deliberately left free for reuse, so a guest write may have landed on
them, and every qemu up to this one ignores the extension in read-write
mode and truncates the file to the end of the payload on close, leaving
ext_off pointing past the end of the file. Both refuse an image whose
payload is perfectly fine, in either mode, with no way back through
qemu-img check or convert. So do not ask the in use flag, ask whether
what the header points at is an extension at all: an offset outside the
file, a wrong magic or a wrong checksum all say that it is not, whoever
left it behind, so drop it with a warning and forget where it ended,
which lets the leak check reclaim the space.
Behind the checksum the extension says what its writer meant it to say,
so a feature this driver does not implement, or a bitmap it can not
parse, keeps the image shut as before. Only an image which was not
closed correctly gives up its extension there, as its bitmaps predate
every write which followed the last inactivation.
Reading a bitmap allocates a cluster sized buffer with the aborting
qemu_blockalign(), and parallels_open() lets a cluster reach almost
2 GiB. That is reachable through every open now, so allocate it the way
the storing side does and align it to bs->file.
Based on the original work from Alexander Ivanov.
