The current fuse module filters out fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)
returning -EOPNOTSUPP. libnbd's nbdfuse would like to translate
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE requests into the NBD command
NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES which allows NBD servers that support it to do
zeroing efficiently.
This commit treats this flag exactly like FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
A way to test this, requiring fuse >= 3, nbdkit >= 1.8 and the latest
nbdfuse from https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/tree/master/fuse is to
create a file containing some data and "mirror" it to a fuse file:
and check that the content of the original file ("disk.img") stays
synchronized. To show NBD commands, export LIBNBD_DEBUG=1 before
running nbdfuse. To clean up:
$ fusermount3 -u mirror.img
$ killall nbdkit
