We are going to be stricter about comparing test result with .out
files. So, fix some whitespaces now.

Using block_resize we can test allocate_first_block() with file
descriptor opened with O_DIRECT, ensuring that it works for any size
larger than 4096 bytes.
Testing smaller sizes is tricky as the result depends on the filesystem
used for testing. For example on NFS any size will work since O_DIRECT
does not require any alignment.

When creating an image with preallocation "off" or "falloc", the first
block of the image is typically not allocated. When using Gluster
storage backed by XFS filesystem, reading this block using direct I/O
succeeds regardless of request length, fooling alignment detection.
In this case we fallback to a safe value (4096) instead of the optimal
value (512), which may lead to unneeded data copying when aligning
requests. Allocating the first block avoids the fallback.
Since we allocate the first block even with preallocation=off, we no
longer create images with zero disk size:
$ ./qemu-img create -f raw test.raw 1g
Formatting 'test.raw', fmt=raw size=1073741824
$ ls -lhs test.raw
4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 1.0G Aug 16 23:48 test.raw
And converting the image requires additional cluster:
$ ./qemu-img measure -f raw -O qcow2 test.raw
required size: 458752
fully allocated size: 1074135040
When using format like vmdk with multiple files per image, we allocate
one block per file:
$ ./qemu-img create -f vmdk -o subformat=twoGbMaxExtentFlat test.vmdk 4g
Formatting 'test.vmdk', fmt=vmdk size=4294967296 compat6=off hwversion=undefined subformat=twoGbMaxExtentFlat
$ ls -lhs test*.vmdk
4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 2.0G Aug 27 03:23 test-f001.vmdk
4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 2.0G Aug 27 03:23 test-f002.vmdk
4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 353 Aug 27 03:23 test.vmdk
I did quick performance test for copying disks with qemu-img convert to
new raw target image to Gluster storage with sector size of 512 bytes:
for i in $(seq 10); do
rm -f dst.raw
sleep 10
time ./qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none -T none src.raw dst.raw
done
Here is a table comparing the total time spent:
Type Before(s) After(s) Diff(%)
---------------------------------------
real 530.028 469.123 -11.4
user 17.204 10.768 -37.4
sys 17.881 7.011 -60.7
We can see very clear improvement in CPU usage.

It is possible for an empty file to take up blocks on a filesystem, for
example:
$ qemu-img create -f raw test.img 1G
Formatting 'test.img', fmt=raw size=1073741824
$ mkfs.ext4 -I 128 -q test.img
$ mkdir test-mount
$ sudo mount -o loop test.img test-mount
$ sudo touch test-mount/test-file
$ stat -c 'blocks=%b' test-mount/test-file
blocks=8
These extra blocks (one cluster) are apparently used for metadata,
because they are always there, on top of blocks used for data:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=test-mount/test-file bs=1M count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.00135339 s, 775 MB/s
$ stat -c 'blocks=%b' test-mount/test-file
blocks=2056
Make iotest 175 take this into account.
