Subject: [Devel] [PATCH VZ10 v4 11/11] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: respect zeroes during merge
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 19:06:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827160619.303398-12-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827160619.303398-1-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com>

The merge machinery used to skip unallocated clusters, therefore
breaking all clusters with zero bits and non-zero backing.
Technically this bug was present even before discard changes, as
qcow2 image could have 'reads as zero' bits before being inserted
into dm-qcow2.
Properly commit all zero clusters (albeit with data for now).

Feature: dm-qcow2: block device over QCOW2 files driver
