[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] qcow2: Snapshot update for zero clusters

[Max Reitz]

When creating a snapshots, the refcount adjustment function basically
adjusted the refcounts of any cluster with a non-zero L2 entry. However,
the L2 entry of unallocated zero clusters is exactly one (therefore
non-zero) which led to wrong refcount updates on cluster 0 (the main
qcow2 header), since the cluster index for these unallocated zero clusters
is 0.

This series fixes this by taking all cluster types specifically into
account using qcow2_get_cluster_type and handling them accordingly.
Furthermore, a short test is added.

v2:
 - more thorough commit message
 - take pre-allocated zero clusters into account
 - abort on unknown cluster type
 - a test case
