[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Allocate mutiple clusters for VMDK I/O

[Ashijeet Acharya <ashijeetacharya@gmail.com>]

This series optimizes the I/O performance of VMDK driver.

Patch 1 makes the VMDK driver to allocate multiple clusters at once. Earlier
it used to allocate cluster by cluster which slowed down its performance to a
great extent.

Patch 2 changes the metadata update code to update the L2 tables for multiple
clusters at once.

Note: These changes pass all 41/41 tests suitable for VMDK driver.
