nbd: server: Report holes for raw images
When querying image extents for raw image, qemu-nbd reports holes as
zero:
$ qemu-nbd -t -r -f raw empty-6g.raw
$ qemu-img map --output json nbd://localhost
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": true, "offset": 0}]
$ qemu-img map --output json empty-6g.raw
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": false, "offset": 0}]
Turns out that qemu-img map reports a hole based on BDRV_BLOCK_DATA, but
nbd server reports a hole based on BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED.
The NBD protocol says:
NBD_STATE_HOLE (bit 0): if set, the block represents a hole (and
future writes to that area may cause fragmentation or encounter an
NBD_ENOSPC error); if clear, the block is allocated or the server
could not otherwise determine its status.
qemu-img manual says:
whether the sectors contain actual data or not (boolean field data;
if false, the sectors are either unallocated or stored as
optimized all-zero clusters);
To me, data=false looks compatible with NBD_STATE_HOLE. From user point
of view, getting same results from qemu-nbd and qemu-img is more
important than being more correct about allocation status.
Changing nbd server to report holes using BDRV_BLOCK_DATA makes qemu-nbd
results compatible with qemu-img map:
$ qemu-img map --output json nbd://localhost
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": false, "offset": 0}]
