[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] block: Preallocated truncation for gluster and sheepdog

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] block: Preallocated truncation for gluster and sheepdog

[Max Reitz]

As far as I can see, these are the only protocols beside file-posix that
support preallocated creation.  In contrast to file-posix, however, they
have not supported preallocated truncation so far.  This series brings
their truncation code to feature parity with their creation code in this
regard.

Note that I do not have a test setup for either of the two drivers, so I
do not actually know whether this works.  Anyone with a setup is more
than welcome to test this series.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/7] gluster: Move glfs_close() to create's clean-up

[Max Reitz]

glfs_close() is a classical clean-up operation, as can be seen by the
fact that it is executed even if the truncation before it failed.
Also, moving it to clean-up makes it more clear that if it fails, we do
not want it to overwrite the current ret value if that signifies an
error already.

Pull out the truncation code from the qemu_cluster_create() function so

Instead of expecting the current size to be 0, query it and allocate
only the area [current_size, offset) if preallocation is requested.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] sheepdog: Pass old and new size to sd_prealloc()

[Max Reitz]

sd_prealloc() will now preallocate the area [old_size, new_size).  As
before, it rounds to buf_size and may thus overshoot and preallocate
areas that were not requested to be preallocated.  For image creation,
this is no change in behavior.  For truncation, this is in accordance
with the documentation for preallocated truncation.

I don't have a gluster setup handy to test this, but the concept matches 
file-posix and the change looks reasonable.

I'm a bit weak on ensuring the same ending flags result after the new

Nice - you also got rid of a potential failure in blk_getlength().
