Fixed the safezero call for allocating the rest of the file after cloning an existing volume; it used to always use a zero offset, causing it to only allocate the beginning of the file. Also modified file creation to try to use fallocate(2) to pre-allocate disk space before copying any data to make sure it fails early on if disk is full and makes sure we can skip zero blocks when copying file contents. If fallocate isn't available we will zero out the rest of the file after cloning and only use sparse cloning if client requested a lower allocation than the input volume's capacity.

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.
