Subject: [Devel] [PATCH VZ10 10/10] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: respect zeroes during merge
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:56:38 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812185638.110779-11-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812185638.110779-1-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
