While a zero allocation in safezero should be fine it isn't when we use
posix_fallocate which returns EINVAL on a zero allocation.
While we could skip the zero allocation in safezero_posix_fallocate it's
an optimization to do it for all allocations.
This fixes vm installation via virtinst for me which otherwise aborts
like:
Starting install...
Retrieving file linux... | 5.9 MB 00:01 ...
Retrieving file initrd.gz... | 29 MB 00:07 ...
ERROR Couldn't create storage volume 'virtinst-linux.sBgds4': 'cannot fill file '/var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinst-linux.sBgds4': Invalid argument'
The error was introduced by e30297b0 as spotted by Chunyan Liu
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
