On postsuspend dm-qcow2 truncates the image file only down to
file_preallocated_area_start, so clusters at the end of the file freed
by discard are never given back and the file never shrinks.

This series makes postsuspend scan the refcount blocks backward and
truncate the file to the end of the last used cluster.

Patch 1 adds qcow2_md_page_read_sync() helper, which is needed by the
scan. Patch 2 is a small cleanup of duplicate prefixes in QC_ERR/QC_INFO
messages. Patch 3 does the actual truncation.

https://virtuozzo.atlassian.net/browse/VSTOR-148171

v3:
- Split from the common series with dm-ploop: dm-ploop patches are
  sent as a separate series.
- Patch 1: rename qcow2_get_md_page_sync() to qcow2_md_page_read_sync(),
  reword commit message and comment.
- Patch 2: new patch.
- Patch 3: start the scan from file_preallocated_area_start instead of
  the end of the file and clamp the result to it, as the last cluster
  may be partial; print the scan error with %pe and drop the duplicate
  "dm-qcow2:" prefix from it.

v2:
- Add dm-ploop support (patches 3-6), as requested in v1 review.
- dm-qcow2: move get_md_page_sync() to a separate patch as
  qcow2_md_page_read_sync() and use it in qcow2_parse_header() as well.
- dm-qcow2: start the refcount scan below file_preallocated_area_start
  instead of the end of the file, and truncate to the used end directly
  instead of min(file_preallocated_area_start, used end).

Alexander Ivanov (3):
  dm-qcow2: add qcow2_md_page_read_sync() helper
  dm-qcow2: drop duplicate prefix from QC_ERR/QC_INFO messages
  dm-qcow2: truncate unused tail of image on suspend

Add a helper, which returns an up to date md page from md cache,
or allocates a new one, inserts it and reads it synchronously.
On read failure the page is erased from cache and freed.

Use it in qcow2_parse_header() instead of open-coded allocation
and read of page 0. It will also be used by the next patch.

QCOW2_FMT already adds the "dm-qcow2: <dev>: " prefix and the trailing
newline, so several messages were printed like:

    dm-qcow2: <dev>: dm-qcow2: Can't parse metadata

and some of them were followed by an empty line. Drop the redundant
prefix and newlines.

On postsuspend we truncate the image file only down to
file_preallocated_area_start, i.e. we drop preallocations only.
Clusters at the end of the file freed by discard (refcount dropped
to zero) are never given back, so the file size never shrinks.

Add qcow2_calc_used_end(), which scans refcount blocks backward from
file_preallocated_area_start and returns the end of the last cluster
with non-zero refcount. Refcount ranges with no allocated refblock
are skipped at once. Metadata pages are taken from md cache or read
synchronously. This is called on suspended device after md writeback,
so R1 and R2 can't change under us.

Truncate the file to the used end. Skip the scan if md writeback
failed, as refcounts on disk are stale then, and fall back to the old
behaviour on scan error.

The comment on qcow2_md_page_read_sync() says it returns
an up-to-date page, but that depends on no read being in flight.
If a page is cached but not MD_UPTODATE,
qcow2_md_page_find_or_postpone() returns NULL and the insert
that follows fails.

This can't happen on a suspended device, but
the comment should state the assumption.

Please say in the cover letter or the commit message that
close and the RO reload also go through postsuspend, so
readers don't have to work it out.
