[Qemu-devel] [PULL 03/30] qcow2: Unset zero_beyond_eof in save_vmstate

From: Max Reitz <address@hidden>

Saving the VM state is done using bdrv_pwrite. This function may perform
a read-modify-write, which in this case results in data being read from
beyond the end of the virtual disk. Since we are actually trying to
access an area which is not a part of the virtual disk, zero_beyond_eof
has to be set to false before performing the partial write, otherwise
the VM state may become corrupted.
