[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] qcow2: Small error path fixes for l2_allocate

[Max Reitz]

Errors in l2_allocate should always go down the error path. If this path
is taken, the newly allocated L2 cluster is abandoned and should thus be
freed. The L2 table on the other hand should only be put back into the
cache if it was taken from it before.

  qcow2: Don't put invalid L2 table into cache
  qcow2: Free allocated L2 cluster on error
  qcow2: Always use error path in l2_allocate

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] qcow2: Don't put invalid L2 table into cache

[Max Reitz]

In l2_allocate, the fail path is executed if qcow2_cache_flush fails.
However, the L2 table has not yet been fetched from the L2 table cache.
The qcow2_cache_put in the fail path therefore basically gives an
undefined argument as the L2 table address (in this case).

[Max Reitz]

If an error occurs in l2_allocate, the allocated (but unused) L2 cluster
should be freed.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] qcow2: Always use error path in l2_allocate

[Max Reitz]

Just returning -errno in some cases prevents
trace_qcow2_l2_allocate_done from being executed (and, in one case, also
the unused allocated L2 table from being freed). Always going down the
error path fixes this.

This needs an update of the reference output for test case 026 (both for
-nocache and writethrough).

Most of the changes look expected and good, like cluster leaks
disappearing. With -nocache, however, there are a few cases that failed
previously and result in successful writes now. It would be interesting
to see the explanation for these before we merge the patch.

Yes, right.

I personally don't see this cases. Could you give an example?

Weird, I can't reproduce it any more. I guess it was a problem on my side
then.
