Description Jason Dillaman 2020-06-18 15:15:30 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1848594 +++

Description of problem:
Create an "rbd export-diff" of a snapshot that includes newly discarded regions. When running "rbd import-diff", it will issue discards via the librbd API, but the librbd API will incorrectly prune the extents of the discard to align against 64KiB boundaries (by default). This might result in an unexpected difference between the two images even though a discard should not be assumed to actually free disk space and zero it. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0 + 5.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export an image snapshot diff that includes unaligned (64KiB) discards using a pre-RHCS 4 client.
2. Attempt to import the snapshot diff using an RHCS 4+ client that now ignores unaligned discards

Actual results:
The unaligned discarded region will be be discarded in the import-diff destination image.

Expected results:
The unaligned discarded regions should be zeroed since users might be attempting to verify proper import/export via checksums -- which will fail if the images don't exactly match.
