From 1c6e87799252d166426f642c00be8927b68ab164 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 19:52:36 +0200 Subject: qemu-img: Use zero writes after source backing EOF Past the end of the source backing file, we memset() buf_old to zero, so it is clearly easy to use blk_pwrite_zeroes() instead of blk_pwrite() then.
