[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 RESEND 0/4] qemu-img: add preallocation=full

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 RESEND 0/4] qemu-img: add preallocation=full

[Hu Tao]

This series implements full image preallocation to create a non-sparse image
file at creation time, both for raw and qcow2 format. The purpose is to avoid
performance deterioration of the guest cause by sparse image.

v5:
  - fix wrong calculation of qcow2 metadata size in v4
  - remove raw_preallocate2()
  - better error out path in raw_create()
  - fix coding style


Hu Tao (4):
  qapi: introduce PreallocMode and a new PreallocMode full.
  raw, qcow2: don't convert file size to sector size
  raw-posix: Add full image preallocation option
  qcow2: Add full image preallocation option

Makes sense to make it consistent in all places.

If errp is already set because ftruncate or posix_ftruncate failed, and
qemu_close() fails too, the call to error_setg_errno() will abort on failing
the assertion of (*errp == NULL).

You could either embed the two failures in one error message, or pick the
urgent one and drop the other.

The original code also has the problem. This brings a general problem
that two error_setg_errno() could be called on the same errp. In general
the first error is better to reveal to user.

Ping.

This is the major part of the patchset that needs review, especially 
the calculation of metadata size.

Although not stated in the qcow2 spec, but actually l1 tables are
aligned to cluster too because of the nature of qcow2_alloc_clusters().

Same for refcount tables below.

Besides the comments that have been made, looks good.  The metadata size
calculation is correct now.

Thanks for review! I'll post v6 to address comments by Fam and Eric.
