2009-11-09qcow2: Allow qcow2 disk images with size zeroStefan Weil
Images with disk size 0 may be used for VM snapshots, but not to save normal block data. It is possible to create such images using qemu-img, but opening them later fails. So even "qemu-img info image.qcow2" is not possible for an image created with "qemu-img create -f qcow2 image.qcow2 0". This is fixed here.

2009-10-27Revert "qcow2: Bring synchronous read/write back to life"Kevin Wolf
It was merely a workaround and the real fix is done now. This reverts commit ef845c3bf421290153154635dc18eaa677cecb43. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-10-15qcow2: Bring synchronous read/write back to lifeKevin Wolf
When the synchronous read and write functions were dropped, they were replaced by generic emulation functions. Unfortunately, these emulation functions don't provide the same semantics as the original functions did. The original bdrv_read would mean that we read some data synchronously and that we won't be interrupted during this read. The latter assumption is no longer true with the emulation function which needs to use qemu_aio_poll and therefore allows the callback of any other concurrent AIO request to be run during the read. Which in turn means that (meta)data read earlier could have changed and be invalid now. qcow2 is not prepared to work in this way and it's just scary how many places there are where other requests could run. I'm not sure yet where exactly it breaks, but you'll see breakage with virtio on qcow2 with a backing file. Providing synchronous functions again fixes the problem for me.

2009-10-05qcow2: Increase maximum cluster size to 2 MBKevin Wolf
This patch increases the maximum qcow2 cluster size to 2 MB. Starting with 128k clusters, L2 tables span 2 GB or more of virtual disk space, causing 32 bit truncation and wraparound of signed integers. Therefore some variables need to use a larger data type. While being at reviewing data types, change some integers that are used for array indices to unsigned. In some places they were checked against some upper limit but not for negative values. This could avoid potential segfaults with corrupted qcow2 images. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-09-12Fix sys-queue.h conflict for goodBlue Swirl
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896, f40d753718c72693c5f520f0d9899f6e50395e94, 96555a96d724016e13190b28cffa3bc929ac60dc and 3990d09adf4463eca200ad964cc55643c33feb50 but the fixes were fragile. Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the file. Revert the previous hacks. Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>
2009-09-09qcow2: Order concurrent AIO requests on the same unallocated clusterKevin Wolf
When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a read and a cluster deallocation which cause some overhead. If we simply let the second request wait until the first one is done, we improve overall performance with AIO requests (specifially, qcow2/virtio combinations). This patch maintains a list of in-flight requests that have allocated new clusters. A second request touching the same cluster is limited so that it either doesn't touch the allocation of the first request (so it can have a non-overlapping allocation) or it waits for the first request to complete.

2009-07-10qcow2: Fix L1 table memory allocationKevin Wolf
Contrary to what one could expect, the size of L1 tables is not cluster aligned. So as we're writing whole sectors now instead of single entries, we need to ensure that the L1 table in memory is large enough; otherwise write would access memory after the end of the L1 table.

2009-06-16l2_allocate: Write complete sectorsKevin Wolf
When modifying the L1 table, l2_allocate() needs to write complete sectors instead of single entries. The L1 table is already in memory, reading it from disk in the block layer to align the request is wasted performance.

2009-06-16qcow2: Rename global functionsKevin Wolf
The qcow2 source is now split into several more manageable files. During the conversion quite some functions that were static before needed to be changed to be global to make the source compile again. We were lucky enough not to get name conflicts with these additional global names, but they are not nice. This patch adds a qcow2_ prefix to all of the global functions in qcow2.

2009-06-16qcow2: Split out guest cluster functionsKevin Wolf
qcow2-cluster.c contains all functions related to the management of guest clusters, i.e. what the guest sees on its virtual disk. This code is about mapping these guest clusters to host clusters in the image file using the two-level lookup tables.
