[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] vmdk: Only read cid from image file when opening

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

Previously cid of parent is parsed from image file for every IO request.
We already have L1/L2 cache and don't have assumption that parent image
can be updated behind us, so remove this to get more efficiency.

The parent CID is checked only for once after opening.
