Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] block/vdi: return ZERO block-status when appropriate
Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 12:43:58 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200528094405.145708-4-vsementsov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200528094405.145708-1-vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>

In case of !VDI_IS_ALLOCATED[], we do zero out the corresponding chunk
of qiov. So, this should be reported as ZERO.

Note that this changes visible output of "qemu-img map --output=json"
and "qemu-io -c map" commands. For qemu-img map, the change is obvious:
we just mark as zero what is really zero. For qemu-io it's less
obvious: what was unallocated now is allocated.

There is an inconsistency in understanding of unallocated regions in
Qemu: backing-supporting format-drivers return 0 block-status to report
go-to-backing logic for this area. Some protocol-drivers (iscsi) return
0 to report fs-unallocated-non-zero status (i.e., don't occupy space on
disk, read result is undefined).

BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED is defined as something more close to
go-to-backing logic. Still it is calculated as ZERO | DATA, so 0 from
iscsi is treated as unallocated. It doesn't influence backing-chain
behavior, as iscsi can't have backing file. But it does influence
"qemu-io -c map".

We should solve this inconsistency at some future point. Now, let's
just make backing-not-supporting format drivers (vdi at this patch and
vpc with the following) to behave more like backing-supporting drivers
and not report 0 block-status. More over, returning ZERO status is
absolutely valid thing, and again, corresponds to how the other
format-drivers (backing-supporting) work.

After block-status update, it never reports 0, so setting
unallocated_blocks_are_zero doesn't make sense (as the only user of it
is bdrv_co_block_status and it checks unallocated_blocks_are_zero only
for unallocated areas). Drop it.
