Do you really need to revert the latter two? They should be really
harmless, the first is adding yet dead code, the second one is trivial
code motion.

No, this is the first report of such corruption, so any further
information would be very helpful. Does qemu-img check find any problems?
There is one intended change in functionality in this patch, which is
that it allocates new clusters even when it could satisfy the first part
of the request with already allocated clusters. In order to check if
there is a problem with this scenario, the following patch should revert
to the old behaviour:
--- a/block/qcow2-cluster.c
+++ b/block/qcow2-cluster.c
@@ -847,7 +847,7 @@ again:
keep_clusters = count_contiguous_clusters(nb_clusters,
s->cluster_size,
&l2_table[l2_index],
0, 0);
assert(keep_clusters <= nb_clusters);
- nb_clusters -= keep_clusters;
+ nb_clusters = 0;
} else {
/* For the moment, overwrite compressed clusters one by one */
if (cluster_offset & QCOW_OFLAG_COMPRESSED) {
The rest is meant to be a functionally equivalent rewrite of the old
code that was required in order to allow this change.
