[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu 03/13] block/io: clear BDRV_BLOCK_RECURSE flag after recursing in bdrv_co_block_status

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

Using fleecing backup like in [0] on a qcow2 image (with metadata
preallocation) can lead to the following assertion failure:

> bdrv_co_do_block_status: Assertion `!(ret & BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO)' failed.

In the reproducer [0], it happens because the BDRV_BLOCK_RECURSE flag
will be set by the qcow2 driver, so the caller will recursively check
the file child. Then the BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO set too. Later up the call
chain, in bdrv_co_do_block_status() for the snapshot-access driver,
the assertion failure will happen, because both flags are set.

To fix it, clear the recurse flag after the recursive check was done.

In detail:

> #0  qcow2_co_block_status

Returns 0x45 = BDRV_BLOCK_RECURSE | BDRV_BLOCK_DATA |
BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID.

> #1  bdrv_co_do_block_status

Because of the data flag, bdrv_co_do_block_status() will now also set
BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED. Because of the recurse flag,
bdrv_co_do_block_status() for the bdrv_file child will be called,
which returns 0x16 = BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED | BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID |
BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO. Now the return value inherits the zero flag.

Returns 0x57 = BDRV_BLOCK_RECURSE | BDRV_BLOCK_DATA |
BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID | BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED | BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO.

> #2  bdrv_co_common_block_status_above
> #3  bdrv_co_block_status_above
> #4  bdrv_co_block_status
> #5  cbw_co_snapshot_block_status
> #6  bdrv_co_snapshot_block_status
> #7  snapshot_access_co_block_status
> #8  bdrv_co_do_block_status

Return value is propagated all the way up to here, where the assertion
failure happens, because BDRV_BLOCK_RECURSE and BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO are
both set.
