Subject: [PULL 3/4] block/io: Update BSC only if want_zero is true
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 17:00:02 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220128230003.1114719-4-eblake@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220128230003.1114719-1-eblake@redhat.com>

From: Hanna Reitz <hreitz@redhat.com>

We update the block-status cache whenever we get new information from a
bdrv_co_block_status() call to the block driver.  However, if we have
passed want_zero=false to that call, it may flag areas containing zeroes
as data, and so we would update the block-status cache with wrong
information.

Therefore, we should not update the cache with want_zero=false.
