qcow2: Fix corruption on write_zeroes with MAY_UNMAP
Commit 205fa50750 ("qcow2: Add subcluster support to zero_in_l2_slice()") introduced a subtle change to code in zero_in_l2_slice: It swapped the order of 1. qcow2_cache_entry_mark_dirty(s->l2_table_cache, l2_slice); 2. set_l2_entry(s, l2_slice, l2_index + i, QCOW_OFLAG_ZERO); 3. qcow2_free_any_clusters(bs, old_offset, 1, QCOW2_DISCARD_REQUEST); To 1. qcow2_cache_entry_mark_dirty(s->l2_table_cache, l2_slice); 2. qcow2_free_any_clusters(bs, old_offset, 1, QCOW2_DISCARD_REQUEST); 3. set_l2_entry(s, l2_slice, l2_index + i, QCOW_OFLAG_ZERO); It seems harmless, however the call to qcow2_free_any_clusters can trigger a cache flush which can mark the L2 table as clean, and assuming that this was the last write to it, a stale version of it will remain on the disk. Now we have a valid L2 entry pointing to a freed cluster. Oops.
