2011-10-05qed: fix use-after-free during l2 cache commitStefan Hajnoczi
QED's metadata caching strategy allows two parallel requests to race for metadata lookup. The first one to complete will populate the metadata cache and the second one will drop the data it just read in favor of the cached data. There is a use-after-free in qed_read_l2_table_cb() and qed_commit_l2_update() where l2_table->offset was used after the l2_table may have been freed due to a metadata lookup race. Fix this by keeping the l2_offset in a local variable and not reaching into the possibly freed l2_table.

2011-08-02async: Remove AsyncContextKevin Wolf
The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts). Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be removed. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-12-17qed: Table, L2 cache, and cluster functionsStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds code to look up data cluster offsets in the image via the L1/L2 tables. The L2 tables are writethrough cached in memory for performance (each read/write requires a lookup so it is essential to cache the tables). With cluster lookup code in place it is possible to implement bdrv_is_allocated() to query the number of contiguous allocated/unallocated clusters.
