Passing a byte offset, but sector count, when we ultimately
want to operate on cluster granularity, is madness.  Clean up
the interfaces to take byte offset and count.  Rename
qcow2_discard_clusters() and qcow2_zero_clusters() to the
shorter qcow2_discard() and qcow2_zero() to make sure backports
don't get confused by changed units.

Hmm, I personally liked qcow2_zero_clusters() better. qcow2_zero()
doesn't really express that it means the verb "to zero".

Also, while you are making a good point why the function should be
renamed, qcow2_zero_clusters() was much more accurate because offset and
count are expected to be cluster-aligned.

The only alternative I can come up with would be "qcow2_write_zeroes";
that at least solves the first issue I have with this, but not the
second one...

Hm, it's rather qcow2_co_pwrite_zeroes(), isn't it? The block layer will
split unaligned requests into head, body and tail and it will still
submit head and tail (though separately).

As far as I can see, it's qcow2_co_pwrite_zeroes() which then guarantees
that only the aligned part gets through to qcow2_zero().


The patch looks good apart from these nit picks, though.

Maybe qcow2_cluster_zeroize() and qcow2_cluster_discard()? That gets the
benefit of the rename (to force all callers to use the right semantics),
while still being legible as an object-verb naming: the action
('discard' or 'zeroize') is performed on 'qcow2 cluster' objects.

Hmm, good point.  I'll have to come up with some way to reword that.

And since I'm adding assertions that the zero operation is never
attempted on unaligned parts, maybe I should also add asserts that
discards are never unaligned, perhaps as a prereq patch.

I'll wait a bit and see if anyone else has better naming ideas for the
functions, before I try to send a v2.

I think qcow2_discard() is fine (it works with any alignment (even
though it will only discard whole clusters) and "discard" is mainly used
as a verb, so at least I'm not confused there). I like
qcow2_cluster_zeroize() if nothing else then for the "zeroize" alone. :-)

Except that I think with my recent fix to qcow2_make_empty(), we can now
assert that all callers actually pass cluster-aligned values.  Hence my
other comment that maybe we want to (as a prereq patch) actually assert
that callers are aligned, at which point keeping cluster in the name is
once again worthwhile.

Okay, then I have a good idea of what name to use.
