When allocating multiple clusters at once, the qcow2 implementation
tries to find as many physically contiguous clusters as possible to
allow larger writes. This search includes allocated clusters which are
in the right place and still free clusters. If the range to allocate
spans clusters in patterns like "10 allocated, then 10 free, then again
10 allocated" it is only checked that the chunks of allocated clusters
are contiguous for themselves.
However, what is actually needed is to have _all_ allocated clusters
contiguous, starting at the first cluster of the allocation and spanning
multiple such chunks. This patch changes the check so that each offset
is not compared to the offset of the first cluster in its own chunk but
to the first cluster in the whole allocation.
I haven't seen it happen, but without this fix data corruption on qcow2
images is possible.

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most
noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.
It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

unexpected exit (Gleb Natapov)
Currently the order is this (during cow since it's the interesting case):
1. Decrement refcount of old clusters
2. Increment refcount for newly allocated clusters
3. Copy content of old sectors that will not be rewritten
4. Update L2 table with pointers to new clusters
5. Write guest data into new clusters (asynchronously)
There are several problems with this order. The first one is that if qemu
crashes (or killed or host reboots) after new clusters are linked into L2
table but before user data is written there, then on the next reboot guest
will find neither old data nor new one in those sectors and this is not
what gust expects even when journaling file system is in use. The other
problem is that if qemu is killed between steps 1 and 4 then refcount
of old cluster will be incorrect and may cause snapshot corruption.
The patch change the order to be like this:
1. Increment refcount for newly allocated clusters
2. Write guest data into new clusters (asynchronously)
3. Copy content of old sectors that were not rewritten
4. Update L2 table with pointers to new clusters
5. Decrement refcount of old clusters
Unexpected crash may cause cluster leakage, but guest data should be safe.

Otherwise if VM is killed between two writes data may be lost.
But if offset and size fields are at the same disk block one
write should update them both simultaneously.

I noticed the qemu_aio_flush was doing nothing at all. And a flood of
cmd_writeb commands leading to a noop-invocation of qemu_aio_flush
were executed.
In short all 'memset;goto redo' places must be fixed to use the bh and
not to call the callback in the context of bdrv_aio_read or the
bdrv_aio_read model falls apart. Reading from qcow2 holes is possible
with phyisical readahead (kind of breada in linux buffer cache).
This is needed at least for scsi, ide is lucky (or it has been
band-aided against this API breakage by fixing the symptom and not the
real bug).
Same bug exists in qcow of course, can be fixed later as it's less
urgent.

During the debugging of the new revision of the zero dedup patch I
stepped on the following bug in block-qcow2.c:alloc_cluster_offset(). I
am not sure what the exact damage this bug can do, but it may be very
nasty because you way not notice it effects until you will do some
snapshot operations or similar actions that rely on the reference
counting.
The bug is easy to spot using the new "check" verb I added to the
qemu-img in one of the previous patches. I will resend the qemu-img
patch again with the new version of the zero dedup.
