No, meta bitmap should not have same granularity. If we have 16tb storage, then 16kb granulated bitmap will occupy more then 128 mb. And additional meta bitmap of the same size and granularity is redundant 128+ mb of RAM, when actually we need meta bitmap for blocks for example of 1mb and it should occupy about 128 bits. > > Signed-off-by: Fam Zheng > --- > include/qemu/hbitmap.h | 7 +++++++ > util/hbitmap.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/include/qemu/hbitmap.h b/include/qemu/hbitmap.h > index bb94a00..09a6b06 100644 > --- a/include/qemu/hbitmap.h > +++ b/include/qemu/hbitmap.h > @@ -181,6 +181,13 @@ void hbitmap_iter_init(HBitmapIter *hbi, const HBitmap *hb, uint64_t first); > */ > unsigned long hbitmap_iter_skip_words(HBitmapIter *hbi); > > +/* hbitmap_create_meta > + * @hb: The HBitmap to operate on. > + * > + * Create a "meta" hbitmap to track dirtiness of the bits in this HBitmap. > + */ > +HBitmap *hbitmap_create_meta(HBitmap *hb); > + > /** > * hbitmap_iter_next: > * @hbi: HBitmapIter to operate on. > diff --git a/util/hbitmap.c b/util/hbitmap.c > index 50b888f..3ad406e 100644 > --- a/util/hbitmap.c > +++ b/util/hbitmap.c > @@ -81,6 +81,9 @@ struct HBitmap { > */ > int granularity; > > + /* A meta dirty bitmap to track the dirtiness of bits in this HBitmap. */ > + HBitmap *meta; > + > /* A number of progressively less coarse bitmaps (i.e. level 0 is the > * coarsest).
