Upstream NBD protocol recently added the ability to efficiently write zeroes without having to send the zeroes over the wire, along with a flag to control whether the client wants to allow a hole. Note that when it comes to requiring full allocation, vs. permitting optimizations, the NBD spec intentionally picked a different sense for the flag; the rules in qemu are: MAY_UNMAP == 0: must write zeroes MAY_UNMAP == 1: may use holes if reads will see zeroes while in NBD, the rules are: FLAG_NO_HOLE == 1: must write zeroes FLAG_NO_HOLE == 0: may use holes if reads will see zeroes In all cases, the 'may use holes' scenario is optional (the server need not use a hole, and must not use a hole if subsequent reads would not see zeroes).
