2008-10-14Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by defaultaliguori
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity it not at all an issue. cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

Instead of having (current)three command line switches -std-vga, -cirrusvga and -vmwarevga, provide one -vga switch which takes an argument, so that: qemu -std-vga becomes qemu -vga std qemu -cirrusvga becomes qemu -vga cirrus qemu -vmwarevga becomes qemu -vga vmware Update documentation accordingly. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@5335 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

2008-04-28add format= to drive options (CVE-2008-2004)aurel32
It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2). Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments). The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents), so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new "format=raw" parameter for raw disk images. Originally noted by Avi Kivity, patch from Chris Wright. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@4277 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
