qcow2: Reset free_cluster_index when allocating a new refcount block

qcow2: Reset free_cluster_index when allocating a new refcount block

When we try to allocate new clusters we first look for available ones
starting from s->free_cluster_index and once we find them we increase
their reference counts. Before we get to call update_refcount() to do
this last step s->free_cluster_index is already pointing to the next
cluster after the ones we are trying to allocate.

During update_refcount() it may happen however that we also need to
allocate a new refcount block in order to store the refcounts of these
new clusters (and to complicate things further that may also require
us to grow the refcount table). After all this we don't know if the
clusters that we originally tried to allocate are still available, so
we return -EAGAIN to ask the caller to restart the search for free
clusters.

This is what can happen in a common scenario:

  1) We want to allocate a new cluster and we see that cluster N is
     free.

  2) We try to increase N's refcount but all refcount blocks are full,
     so we allocate a new one at N+1 (where s->free_cluster_index was
     pointing at).

  3) Once we're done we return -EAGAIN to look again for a free
     cluster, but now s->free_cluster_index points at N+2, so that's
     the one we allocate. Cluster N remains unallocated and we have a
     hole in the qcow2 file.

This can be reproduced easily:

     qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=512 hd.qcow2 1M
     qemu-io -c 'write 0 124k' hd.qcow2

After this the image has 132608 bytes (256 clusters), and the refcount
block is full. If we write 512 more bytes it should allocate two new
clusters: the data cluster itself and a new refcount block.

     qemu-io -c 'write 124k 512' hd.qcow2

However the image has now three new clusters (259 in total), and the
first one of them is empty (and unallocated):

     dd if=hd.qcow2 bs=512c skip=256 count=1 | hexdump -C

If we write larger amounts of data in the last step instead of the 512
bytes used in this example we can create larger holes in the qcow2
file.

What this patch does is reset s->free_cluster_index to its previous
value when alloc_refcount_block() returns -EAGAIN. This way the caller
will try to allocate again the original clusters if they are still
free.

The output of iotest 026 also needs to be updated because now that
images have no holes some tests fail at a different point and the
number of leaked clusters is different.
