[PATCH 0/4] More RBD updates

[PATCH 0/4] More RBD updates

[Sage Weil]

Hi,

Here are a few more improvements to the qemu rbd support.  The first 
patch makes the configuration file handling cleaner (do not error out if 
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf doesn't exist).  One allows characters in the conf 
string to be escaped, so you can (for example) specify an ip\:port (':' 
is used as a delimiter).

The last patch implements flush when rbd_flush() is available.  This lets 
us take advantage of write buffering in newer versions of librbd, which 
improves performance significantly for many workloads (including the 
trivial qemu-img convert).

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/4] rbd: ignore failures when reading from default conf location

[Sage Weil]

If we are reading from the default config location, ignore any failures.
It is perfectly legal for the user to specify exactly the options they need
and to not rely on any config file.

This has the same problem.

Wouldn't it make sense to have the unescape integrated in
qemu_rbd_next_tok? Or are there any places where you would want to call
it without doing a qemu_rbd_unescape() afterwards?

The conf string makes two passes through rbd_next_tok(), once to grab 
the whole conf string, and again to pull out each item.  We can't 
strip out escaping the first time through or else e.g. \: will turn into 
the : delimiter.

I thought about adding a flag to enable/disable the escaping, but 
explicitly doing the unescape seemed cleaner.
