Currently the qemuDomainGetBlockInfo will return allocation == physical
for most backing stores. For a qcow2 block backed device it's possible
to return the highest lv extent allocated from qemu for an active guest.
That is a value where allocation != physical and one would hope be less.
However, if the guest is not running, then the code falls back to returning
allocation == physical. This turns out to be problematic for rhev which
monitors the size of the backing store. During a migration, before the
VM has been started on the target and while it is deemed inactive on the
source, allocation is returned as physical triggering the code to extend
the file unnecessarily.
Thus, this patch will check a new flag to the call to determine whether
a failure should be returned to indicate to the caller that the code is
unable to fetch the allocation value. This will allow the caller to decide
how to proceed.
Note that I chose not to return a failure as a more general rule mostly
because of backwards compatability and current expectations reasons.
Changing a default return action could be an unexpected action. Although
returning allocation == physical perhaps is incorrect, it is how the
code has been functioning. Having a 'virsh domblkinfo' return a failure
for "some" inactive domains while succeeding for others could be confusing.
A flag forces the caller to decide how to operate.
As it turns out, there seems to be quite a bit of history regarding this.
Details can be found in the BZ:

NOTE:
Trying to keep this as simple as possible since it needs to be backported.
If someone has a better idea for a flag name - I'm open to suggestions...
