[PATCH 04/17] block: Improve documentation of .bdrv_has_zero_init


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [PATCH 04/17] block: Improve documentation of .bdrv_has_zero_init
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 11:44:23 -0600

Several drivers supply .bdrv_has_zero_init that returns 1, but lack
the .bdrv_has_zero_init_truncate callback (parallels and qed outright,
vdi in some scenarios).  A literal reading of the existing
documentation says such drivers are broken, because
bdrv_has_zero_init_truncate() defaults to zero if the callback is
missing; but in practice, the tie between the two functions is only
relevant when truncate is supported.  Clarify the documentation to
make it obvious that this is okay.
