At present the Libvirt driver can preallocate file based disks using the
fallocate command and importantly the `-n` option. This option allocates
blocks on the filesystem past the initial EOF of a given file:
```
$ touch test.img ; fallocate -n -l $(( 1024 * 1024 )) test.img
$ ll -lah test.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 stack stack 0 Apr 16 13:28 test.img
$ du -h test.img
1.0M test.img
```
This results in a miscalculation of the total disk overcommit for file
based (excluding ploop) disks as os.path.getsize is currently used to
determine the allocated size of these disks:
```
>>> import os
>>> os.path.getsize('test.img')
0
```
Using the above example the disk overcommit would be reported as 1.0M as
the disk appears empty yet will report a potential (virtual) size of 1.0M.
However as the required blocks have already been allocated on the
filesystem the host will report disk_available_least as missing an
additional 1.0M, essentially doubling the allocation for each disk.
To correct this the allocated size of file based (excluding ploop) disks
is reported using `disk_size` from the `qemu-img info` command. This
should ensure blocks allocated past the EOF of the file are taken into
account and correctly reported as allocated.
A future change should ultimately remove the use of the `-n` option with
fallocate, however as this would not help disks that have already been
allocated this has not been included in this change to simplify backports.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
