[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/1] qemu-img: check block status of backing file when converting.

[Ren Kimura]

When converting images, check the block status of it's backing file chain to avoid needlessly reading zeros.

How about you put what you wrote in the 0/1 email here?

(But with s/it's/its/ :-))

This won't really work. You may not fall through to the backing file if
the overlay file has an allocated range here.

So you'll have to call bdrv_get_block_status() unconditionally first,
and only if its return value has neither the BDRV_BLOCK_DATA nor the
BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO flag set you can (and then have to) fall through to its
backing file.

Apart from that, I'd suggest to drop the "file" parameter. We don't care
about whatever is returned in it anyway. Just declare a local
BlockDriverState pointer in this function which will receive this value.

The reason for why I'm suggesting this is because this would make it
clearer to the reader that this value is discarded.

Feel free to follow or ignore this suggestion, based on whether you
consider it useful or not.

Thank you for reviewing.

OK. I'll fix these and send version 2 later.

Thanks
