[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/6] file-posix: Make truncate/preallocate asynchronous

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

This fixes the problem that blockdev-create on a local file blocks the
main loop despite being a background job. This was caused by file-posix
preallocating the image with blocking syscalls rather than moving this
to the thread pool and yielding the coroutine meanwhile.

v2:
- Add locking to qcow2_co_discard()
- Extra qcow2 fix and cleanup related to the locking code
- Use tracked requests infrastructure for serialising I/O requests
  against truncate in newly allocated areas

Kevin Wolf (6):
  qcow2: Fix qcow2_truncate() error return value
  block: Convert .bdrv_truncate callback to coroutine_fn
  qcow2: Remove coroutine trampoline for preallocate_co()
  block: Move bdrv_truncate() implementation to io.c
  block: Use tracked request for truncate
  file-posix: Make .bdrv_co_truncate asynchronous
