qcow2: Fix avail_sectors in cluster allocation code
avail_sectors should really be the number of sectors from the start of the allocation, not from the start of the write request. We're lucky enough that this mistake didn't cause any real bug. avail_sectors is only used in the intialiser of QCowL2Meta: .nb_available = MIN(requested_sectors, avail_sectors), m->nb_available in turn is only used for COW at the end of the allocation. A COW occurs only if the request wasn't cluster aligned, which in turn would imply that requested_sectors was less than avail_sectors (both in the original and in the fixed version). In this case avail_sectors is ignored and therefore the mistake doesn't cause any misbehaviour. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
