    qcow2: Inform block layer about discard boundaries · ecdbead6
    Eric Blake 提交于
    At the qcow2 layer, discard is only possible on a per-cluster
    basis; at the moment, qcow2 silently rounds any unaligned
    requests to this granularity.  However, an upcoming patch will
    fix a regression in the block layer ignoring too much of an
    unaligned discard request, by changing the block layer to
    break up a discard request at alignment boundaries; for that
    to work, the block layer must know about our limits.
    
    However, we can't go one step further by changing
    qcow2_discard_clusters() to assert that requests are always
    aligned, since that helper function is reached on paths
    outside of the block layer.
