[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/4] qemu-img: do not zero-pad the compressed write buffer

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

bdrv_write_compressed() does not allow requests that span the end of the
device.  Therefore it is useless to zero-pad the last cluster and
thereby exceed the end of the device.

Let image formats handle zero-padding the final compressed cluster, if
necessary.
