From bae127d4dcf6158c5042e2eee9582430839a9967 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Antoine Damhet Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 15:56:04 +0200 Subject: file-posix: Handle `EINVAL` fallocate return value The `detect-zeroes=unmap` option may issue unaligned `FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE` requests, raw block devices can (and will) return `EINVAL`, qemu should then write the zeroes to the blockdev instead of issuing an `IO_ERROR`. The problem can be reprodced like this: $ qemu-io -c 'write -P 0 42 1234' --image-opts driver=host_device,filename=/dev/loop0,detect-zeroes=unmap write failed: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Antoine Damhet Message-Id: <20200717135603.51180-1-antoine.damhet@blade-group.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf --- block/file-posix.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'block') diff --git a/block/file-posix.c b/block/file-posix.c index 8cc39a1ef6..9a00d4190a 100644 --- a/block/file-posix.c +++ b/block/file-posix.c @@ -1698,7 +1698,11 @@ static int handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_unmap(void *opaque) #ifdef CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE int ret = do_fallocate(s->fd, FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, aiocb->aio_offset, aiocb->aio_nbytes); - if (ret != -ENOTSUP) { + switch (ret) { + case -ENOTSUP: + case -EINVAL: + break; + default: return ret; } #endif -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522 From 61b3043965fe3552ee2684a97e7cc809ca7a71b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 15:55:19 +0200 Subject: qcow2: Implement v2 zero writes with discard if possible qcow2 version 2 images don't support the zero flag for clusters, so for write_zeroes requests, we return -ENOTSUP and get explicit zero buffer writes. If the image doesn't have a backing file, we can do better: Just discard the respective clusters. This is relevant for 'qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -n', where qemu-img has to assume that the existing target image may contain any data, so it has to write zeroes. Without this patch, this results in a fully allocated target image, even if the source image was empty.
