Subject: [Devel] [PATCH VZ10 v4 09/11] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: allow shared L1 entries during merge from RO image
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 19:06:17 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827160619.303398-10-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827160619.303398-1-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com>

For RO images with internal snapshots L1 entries are shared.
Write-mode metadata parsing stops at such entries to avoid
modifying a shared L2 table, which made prepare_backward_merge()
see the cluster as unallocated and skip it with
"nothing to merge": the merged result would silently lose all
data under shared L1 entries.
Allow such scenario in parse_l1() and ease WARN in
prepare_backward_merge().

v3/v4:
 - reorder a patch and remove a guard against images with internal
snapshots
