2014-11-03raw-posix: raw_co_get_block_status() return valueMax Reitz
Instead of generating the full return value thrice in try_fiemap(), try_seek_hole() and as a fall-back in raw_co_get_block_status() itself, generate the value only in raw_co_get_block_status(). While at it, also remove the pnum parameter from try_fiemap() and try_seek_hole().

2014-11-03raw-posix: Fix raw_co_get_block_status() after EOFMax Reitz
As its comment states, raw_co_get_block_status() should unconditionally return 0 and set *pnum to 0 for after EOF. An assertion after lseek(..., SEEK_HOLE) tried to catch this case by asserting that errno != -ENXIO (which would indicate a position after the EOF); but it should be errno != ENXIO instead. Regardless of that, there should be no such assertion at all. If bdrv_getlength() returned an outdated value and the image has been resized outside of qemu, lseek() will return with errno == ENXIO. Just return that value as an error then. Setting *pnum to 0 and returning 0 should not be done here, as in that case we should update the device length as well. So, from qemu's perspective, the file has not been resized; it's just that there was an error querying sectors beyond a certain point (the actual file size). Additionally, nb_sectors should be clamped against the image end. This was probably not an issue if FIEMAP or SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA worked, but the fallback did not take this case into account.

2014-07-01qemu-img create: add 'nocow' optionChunyan Liu
Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance. Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files. This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW per file. For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only. But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.

2013-10-29block: Avoid unecessary drv->bdrv_getlength() callsKevin Wolf
The block layer generally keeps the size of an image cached in bs->total_sectors so that it doesn't have to perform expensive operations to get the size whenever it needs it. This doesn't work however when using a backend that can change its size without qemu being aware of it, i.e. passthrough of removable media like CD-ROMs or floppy disks. For this reason, the caching is disabled when a removable device is used. It is obvious that checking whether the _guest_ device has removable media isn't the right thing to do when we want to know whether the size of the host backend can change. To make things worse, non-top-level BlockDriverStates never have any device attached, which makes qemu assume they are removable, so drv->bdrv_getlength() is always called on the protocol layer. In the case of raw-posix, this causes unnecessary lseek() system calls, which turned out to be rather expensive. This patch completely changes the logic and disables bs->total_sectors caching only for certain block driver types, for which a size change is expected: host_cdrom and host_floppy on POSIX, host_device on win32; also the raw format in case it sits on top of one of these protocols, but in the common case the nested bdrv_getlength() call on the protocol driver will use the cache again and avoid an expensive drv->bdrv_getlength() call.
