2011-01-31qed: Images with backing file do not require QED_F_NEED_CHECKStefan Hajnoczi
The consistency check on open is necessary in order to fix inconsistent table offsets left as a result of a crash mid-operation. Images with a backing file actually flush before updating table offsets and are therefore guaranteed to be consistent. Do not mark these images dirty.

2011-01-24qed: Refuse to create images on block devicesStefan Hajnoczi
QED relies on the underlying filesystem to extend the file and maintain its size. Check that images are not created on a block device. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-12-17qed: Consistency check supportStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds support for the qemu-img check command. It also introduces a dirty bit in the qed header to mark modified images as needing a check. This bit is cleared when the image file is closed cleanly. If an image file is opened and it has the dirty bit set, a consistency check will run and try to fix corrupted table offsets. These corruptions may occur if there is power loss while an allocating write is performed. Once the image is fixed it opens as normal again.

2010-12-17qed: Read/write supportStefan Hajnoczi
This patch implements the read/write state machine. Operations are fully asynchronous and multiple operations may be active at any time. Allocating writes lock tables to ensure metadata updates do not interfere with each other. If two allocating writes need to update the same L2 table they will run sequentially. If two allocating writes need to update different L2 tables they will run in parallel. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> 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.

2010-12-17qed: Add QEMU Enhanced Disk image formatStefan Hajnoczi
This patch introduces the qed on-disk layout and implements image creation. Later patches add read/write and other functionality. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
