[Qemu-devel] [PULL 16/35] qemu-img: Speed up compare on pre-allocated larger file

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Compare the following images with all-zero contents:
$ truncate --size 1M A
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=off B 1G
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata C 1G

On my machine, the difference is noticeable for pre-patch speeds,
with more than an order of magnitude in difference caused by the
choice of preallocation in the qcow2 file:

$ time ./qemu-img compare -f raw -F qcow2 A B
Warning: Image size mismatch!
Images are identical.

real	0m0.014s
user	0m0.007s
sys	0m0.007s

$ time ./qemu-img compare -f raw -F qcow2 A C
Warning: Image size mismatch!
Images are identical.

real	0m0.341s
user	0m0.144s
sys	0m0.188s

Why? Because bdrv_is_allocated() returns false for image B but
true for image C, throwing away the fact that both images know
via lseek(SEEK_HOLE) that the entire image still reads as zero.
>From there, qemu-img ends up calling bdrv_pread() for every byte
of the tail, instead of quickly looking for the next allocation.
The solution: use block_status instead of is_allocated, giving:

$ time ./qemu-img compare -f raw -F qcow2 A C
Warning: Image size mismatch!
Images are identical.

real	0m0.014s
user	0m0.011s
sys	0m0.003s

which is on par with the speeds for no pre-allocation.
