2012-08-06qcow2: implement lazy refcountsStefan Hajnoczi
Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty. In the case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state and repaired next time it is opened. Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in RAM). Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount optimization. The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes when we add feature bit table entries.

2012-08-06qcow2: introduce dirty bitStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds an incompatible feature bit to mark images that have not been closed cleanly. When a dirty image file is opened a consistency check and repair is performed. Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes when we add feature bit table entries.

2012-04-20qemu-iotests: Fix test 031 for qcow2 v3 supportKevin Wolf
qcow2.py must be updated to work with version 3 images at all, the output has changed since the feature table extension has been added, and version 2 and version 3 images can't possibly have the same test output. Change the test case to completely ignore IMGOPTS and run the test for both compat=1.1 and compat=0.10 regardless of the ./check command line. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2012-04-19qemu-iotests: Always filter cluster_size out in _make_test_imgKevin Wolf
Some image formats do have a cluster size, others don't, but there are tests that work with both sets of images and currently we get failures because the qemu-img create output doesn't mention the cluster size for some formats.

2012-04-05qemu-iotests: Test unknown qcow2 header extensionsKevin Wolf
The immportant thing here is that header extensions don't get silently dropped when the header is rewritten, e.g. during a rebase. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
