This catches the situation that is described in the bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/865518 and goes like this:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
$ qemu-io /tmp/huge.qcow2 -c "write $((1024*1024*1024*1024*1024*1024 - 1024)) 512"
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.

Instead of expecting a single l2meta, have a list of them. This allows
to still have a single I/O request for the guest data, even though
multiple l2meta may be needed in order to describe both a COW overwrite

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outdated information.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

This adds the basic infrastructure to qcow2 to handle version 3 images.
It includes code to create v3 images, allow header updates for v3 images

The default for creating new images stays at v2 for now.

With this change, reading from a qcow2 image ignores all reserved bits

This allows that different snapshots of an image can have different
sizes, which is a requirement for enabling image resizing even with

If the first part of a write request is allocated, but the second isn't
and it can be allocated so that the resulting area is contiguous, handle
it at once. This is a common case for sequential writes.
After this patch, alloc_cluster_offset() only checks if the clusters are
already allocated or how many new clusters can be allocated contigouosly.

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

table.
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.

qcow2_get_cluster_offset() looks up a given virtual disk offset and returns the
offset of the corresponding cluster in the image file. Errors (e.g. L2 table

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

This patch adds the ability to grow qcow2 images in-place using
bdrv_truncate(). This enables qemu-img resize command support for
qcow2.
Snapshots are not supported and bdrv_truncate() will return -ENOTSUP.
The notion of resizing an image with snapshots could lead to confusion:
users may expect snapshots to remain unchanged, but this is not possible
with the current qcow2 on-disk format where the header.size field is
global instead of per-snapshot. Others may expect snapshots to change
size along with the current image data. I think it is safest to not
support snapshots and perhaps add behavior later if there is a
consensus.
Backing images continue to work. If the image is now larger than its
backing image, zeroes are read when accessing beyond the end of the
backing image.

Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather
just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch
introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which
need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new
callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file

For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they
