[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] block: respect error code from bdrv_getlength in handle_aiocb_write_zeroes

["Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>]

Original idea beyond the code in question was the following: we have failed
to write zeroes with fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE) as the simplest
approach and via fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)/fallocate(0). We have the
only chance now: if the request comes beyond end of the file. Thus we
should calculate file length and respect the error code from that op.
