Subject: [PATCH hci-8.1 0/1] qcow2: fix guest TRIM destroying internal snapshot data #VSTOR-144873
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:37:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026193715.828224-1-den@openvz.org> (raw)

With extended_l2=on, a discard of part of a cluster that an internal
snapshot still references punches the host range under it. The snapshot
then reads zeroes there, and qemu-img check finds nothing wrong. Every
VM disk has discard='unmap' and the image cache uses cluster_size=1M,
extended_l2=on, so a guest TRIM after a snapshot is enough: CI reverts
gave Windows guests partially zeroed files and left SLES btrfs guests
unbootable.

The bug comes with our "qcow2: make subclusters discardable" series,
which is not upstream. The patch passes the discard to the host only
for clusters owned by the active layer alone, and adds a case to
iotest 271.

iotest 271 on dev-cl04 fails without the fix (the snapshot reads zeroes
after revert) and passes with it.
