[Libguestfs] [PATCH libnbd 1/2] nbdcopy: Do not use trim for zeroing

Nir Soffer nirsof at gmail.com
Sun Feb 21 01:09:05 UTC 2021


Current code uses NBD_CMD_TRIM for writing zeroes without allocating
space (--allocate not specified). This incorrect and can lead to
corrupting the target image.

NBD manual warns about NBD_CMD_TRIM:

    After issuing this command, a client MUST NOT make any assumptions
    about the contents of the export affected by this command, until
    overwriting it again with NBD_CMD_WRITE or NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES

Add allocate flag to the zero operation, to allow zeroing by punching
hole (default) or zeroing by allocating space.

nbd-ops use NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES with or without NBD_FLAG_NO_HOLE
flag. file-ops use fallocate with PUNCH_HOLE or ZERO_RANGE flag.

The copy-sparse tests was modified to require zero operation with
may_trim flag.
