https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318993 Commit id 'dd519a294' caused a regression cloning a volume into a logical pool by removing just the 'allocation' adjustment during storageVolCreateXMLFrom. Combined with the change to not require the new volume input XML to have a capacity listed (commit id 'e3f1d2a8') left the possibility that a copy from a larger volume into a smaller volume would create a thin/sparse logical volume. If a thin lv becomes fully populated, then LVM will set the partition 'inactive' and the subsequent fdatasync() would fail. In order to fix this in a backend agnostic manner, only adjust the new capacity if not provided. Likewise, if the new allocation is not provided, then use the capacity value as we document that if omitted, the volume will be fully allocated at time of creation. In order to ascertain that <allocation> == 0 was because it was not provided and not because it was provided as a 0 value, add a has_allocation flag which will be checked during in order to honor the possibility that <capacity> was provided as some value and <allocation> was provided as 0. For a logical backend, that creation time is 'createVol', while for a file backend, creation doesn't set the size, but the 'createRaw' called during buildVolFrom will decide whether the file is sparse or not based on the provided capacity and allocation value. For volume clones that provide different allocation and capacity values to allow for sparse files, there is no change.
