[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/2] qcow2: Repair OFLAG_COPIED when fixing leaks

[Max Reitz]

Suppose you have an image with consistent OFLAG_COPIED and refcounts.
Now further suppose that image has leaked clusters (single reference,
but refcount 2).  When checking such an image with qemu-img check, it
will notify you of the leakage, and that's it.

Now when trying to repair that image, you naturally use -r leaks because
that should be sufficient and you want to give qemu-img check just as
many "permissions" as it needs so it doesn't destroy your image by
accident.  But while the qcow2 driver will fix the refcounts, alas! it
will now complain about OFLAG_COPIED because that should be set now.
However, it will not set that without -r all.  So, congratulations, now
you have an image that qemu-img check tells you is really corrupted.

This series makes -r leaks fix OFLAG_COPIED as well, but only if
repairing the refcounts was completely successful.

There is a Red Hat Bugzilla entry here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527085

...but I'm afraid the bug description is set to confidential, although I
don't know why.  Sorry. :-/
For everyone who cannot read it, let's say the test case in this series
may very well be a good indication of what you don't see.
