Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v9 10/10] dm-qcow2: truncate unused tail of image on suspend
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 16:06:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028150645.3222391-11-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028150645.3222391-1-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>
Discard punches holes in place of freed clusters, so they hold no
physical extents, but it doesn't change the file size. On postsuspend
we truncate the image file only down to file_preallocated_area_start,
i.e. we drop preallocations only. So if clusters at the end of the
file are freed (refcount dropped to zero), the file size stays the
same and the image 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, clamped to file_preallocated_area_start since
the last cluster may be partial. Refcount ranges with no allocated
refblock are skipped at once. The scan walks R1 entries normal I/O may
never touch, so it validates them itself instead of letting
calc_r2_page_id() WARN on a corrupted one. 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. A failed relocation of
the reftable leaves file_preallocated_area_start beyond the space
covered by the reftable, so the scan starts at most from its end.
Truncate the file to the used end. Fall back to the old behaviour on
scan error and after any failed md writeback. A failed R1/R2 write
leaves refcounts on disk stale. After a reverted L1/L2 writeback
(lx_writeback_error) L1/L2 on disk may point to a cluster whose
refcount was reverted to zero.
Refcounts may also be below real usage after a crash, since both QEMU
with lazy_refcounts and this driver write L2 before refcounts. The scan
would then cut off clusters L2 still points to, even in a session
without guest writes. With kernel_sets_dirty_bit such an image has the
dirty bit set at open, and the disabled dirty bit check lets it be
opened RW, so skip the scan for it. Otherwise userspace sets the dirty
bit on every RW open, so the bit doesn't mean the image is
inconsistent. Userspace checks the image before opening it RW, which
find_unused_cluster() already relies on when it reuses clusters with
zero refcount.
Close and reload to RO go through postsuspend too. On remove,
__dm_destroy() calls the presuspend and postsuspend hooks if the live
table isn't suspended yet. It neither stops the queue nor waits for
I/O, but the device is idle there, because dm_lock_for_deletion()
refuses to remove an open device. On table swap, do_resume() suspends
the old (RW) table before dm_swap_table(). So the file is shrunk in
these cases as well.
