The libvirt-domain.h documentation indicates that for a qcow2 file
in a filesystem being used for a backing store should report the disk
space occupied by a file; however, commit id '15fa84ac' altered the
code to trust that the wr_highest_offset should be used whenever
wr_highest_offset_valid was set.
As it turns out this will lead to indeterminite results. For an active
domain when qemu hasn't yet had the need to find the wr_highest_offset
value, qemu will report 0 even though qemu-img will report the proper
disk size. This causes reporting of the following XML:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/path/to/test-1g.qcow2'/>
to be as follows:
Capacity: 1073741824
Allocation: 0
Physical: 1074139136
with qemu-img indicating:
image: /path/to/test-1g.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes)
disk size: 1.0G
Once the backing source file is opened on the guest, then wr_highest_offset
is updated, but only to the high water mark and not the size of the file.
This patch will adjust the logic to check for the file backed qcow2 image
and enforce setting the allocation to the returned 'physical' value, which
is the 'actual-size' value from a 'query-block' operation.
NB: The other consumer of the wr_highest_offset output (GetAllDomainStats)
has a contract that indicates 'allocation' is the offset of the highest
written sector, so it doesn't need adjustment.

libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* bhyve - bhyve - The BSD Hypervisor
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* phyp/ - IBM Power Hypervisor using CLI tools over SSH
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* uml/ - User Mode Linux
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
* xenapi/ - Xen using libxenserver
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU, UML and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Power Hypervisor, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
