Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] block: Add flush after metadata writes
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 17:03:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1276873409-8235-1-git-send-email-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)

This addresses the data integrity problems which are described for qcow at
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Qcow2DataIntegrity#Metadata_update_ordering.2C_Part_2
These problems are the same for all writable image formats, so this series
contains a patch for each of them.

The only exception is VDI which uses AIO for writing its metadata. It needs
a different fix.

Kevin Wolf (6):
  block: Add bdrv_(p)write_sync
  cow: Use bdrv_(p)write_sync for metadata writes
  qcow: Use bdrv_(p)write_sync for metadata writes
  qcow2: Use bdrv_(p)write_sync for metadata writes
  vmdk: Use bdrv_(p)write_sync for metadata writes
  vpc: Use bdrv_(p)write_sync for metadata writes
