qcow2: Fix preallocation on block devices
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Calling bdrv_getlength() to get the pre-truncate file size will not
really work on block devices, because they have always the same length,
and trying to write beyond it will fail with a rather cryptic error
message.

Instead, we should use qcow2_get_last_cluster() and bdrv_getlength()
only as a fallback.

Before this patch:
$ truncate -s 1G test.img
$ sudo losetup -f --show test.img
/dev/loop0
$ sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=full /dev/loop0 64M
Formatting '/dev/loop0', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864 cluster_size=65536
preallocation=full lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
qemu-img: /dev/loop0: Could not resize image: Failed to resize refcount
structures: No space left on device

With this patch:
$ sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=full /dev/loop0 64M
Formatting '/dev/loop0', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864 cluster_size=65536
preallocation=full lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
qemu-img: /dev/loop0: Could not resize image: Failed to resize
underlying file: Preallocation mode 'full' unsupported for this
non-regular file

So as you can see, it still fails, but now the problem is missing
support on the block device level, so we at least get a better error
message.

Note that we cannot preallocate block devices on truncate by design,
because we do not know what area to preallocate.  Their length is always
the same, the truncate operation does not change it.
