Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] dm-qcow2: fix a merge reporting success after a failed write
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:49:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027174922.2254893-3-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027174922.2254893-1-den@openvz.org>

From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

qcow2_service_iter() collects the status of its service qios in a
function-local static shared by every dm-qcow2 device, and resets it
to OK when it starts. A merge or L1 COW break starting on one device
while another one runs wipes the error the other one recorded. That
one then finishes and reports success although a qio failed, so
userspace may complete the merge and drop the top image, losing data
that never reached the lower image.

Keep the status on the stack. The qios carry a pointer to it, so the
function must not return while one of them is outstanding: every exit
already waits for service_qios to drain, and a BUG_ON after the wait
stops the kernel rather than let a late qio write into a dead stack
frame if that ever changes.

Fixes: 222b6f1291c1 ("dm-qcow2: Introduce driver to create block devices over QCOW2 files")
