This optimises the discard operation for freed clusters by batching
discard requests (both snapshot deletion and bdrv_discard end up
updating the refcounts cluster by cluster).
Note that we don't discard asynchronously, but keep s->lock held. This
is to avoid that a freed cluster is reallocated and written to while the
discard is still in flight.

Segmentation fault
With this patch applied the segfault will be avoided, however the case
will still fail, though gracefully:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
qemu-img: The image size is too large for file format 'qcow2'
Note that even long before these overflow checks kick in, you get
insanely high memory usage (up to INT_MAX * sizeof(uint64_t) = 16 GB for
the L1 table), so with somewhat smaller image sizes you'll probably see
qemu aborting for a failed g_malloc().
If you need huge image sizes, you should increase the cluster size to
the maximum of 2 MB in order to get higher limits.

This is a more precise description of what really constitutes a
dependency. The behaviour doesn't change at this point because the COW
area of the old request is still aligned to cluster boundaries and
therefore an overlap is detected wheneven the requests touch any part of
the same cluster.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Handling overlapping allocations isn't just a detail of cluster
allocation. It is rather one of three ways to get the host cluster
offset for a write request:
1. If a request overlaps an in-flight allocations, the cluster offset
can be taken from there (this is what handle_dependencies will evolve
into) or the request must just wait until the allocation has
completed. Accessing the L2 is not valid in this case, it has
outdated information.
2. Outside overlapping areas, check the clusters that can be written to
as they are, with no COW involved.
3. If a COW is required, allocate new clusters
Changing the code to reflect this doesn't change the behaviour because
overlaps cannot exist for clusters that are kept in step 2. It does
however make it easier for later patches to work on clusters that belong
to an allocation that is still in flight.

Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty. In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.
Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM). Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.
The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough

qcow2 calls bdrv_flush() after performing COW in order to ensure that the

Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
This adds some new cache functions to qcow2 which can be used for caching
refcount blocks and L2 tables. When used with cache=writethrough they work
like the old caching code which is spread all over qcow2, so for this case we
have merely a cleanup.
The interesting case is with writeback caching (this includes cache=none) where
data isn't written to disk immediately but only kept in cache initially. This
leads to some form of metadata write batching which avoids the current "write
to refcount block, flush, write to L2 table" pattern for each single request
when a lot of cluster allocations happen. Instead, cache entries are only
written out if its required to maintain the right order. In the pure cluster
allocation case this means that all metadata updates for requests are done in
memory initially and on sync, first the refcount blocks are written to disk,
then fsync, then L2 tables.
This improves performance of scenarios with lots of cluster allocations
noticably (e.g. installation or after taking a snapshot).

The L1 table grow operation includes a size calculation that bumps up
the new L1 table size in order to anticipate the size needs of vmstate
data. This helps reduce the number of times that the L1 table has to be
grown when vmstate data is appended.
This size overhead is not necessary during image creation,
bdrv_truncate(), or snapshot goto operations. In fact, existing
qemu-iotests that exercise table growth are no longer able to trigger it
because image creation preallocates an L1 table that is too large after
changes to qcow_create2().
This patch keeps the size calculation but also adds exact growth for
callers that do not want to inflate the L1 table size unnecessarily.

unfortuately the same as for any unallocated cluster. So in effect we can't
