[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/5] block: split write_zeroes always

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>

We should split requests even if they are less than write_zeroes_alignment.
For example we can have the following request:
  offset 62k
  size   4k
  write_zeroes_alignment 64k
The original code sent 1 request covering 2 qcow2 clusters, and resulted
in both clusters being allocated. But by splitting the request, we can
cater to the case where one of the two clusters can be zeroed as a
whole, for only 1 cluster allocated after the operation.

[eblake: Avoid exceeding nb_sectors, hoist alignment checks out of
loop, and update testsuite to show that patch works]
