Kevin Wolf 93c2493646 qcow2: Basic definitions for external data files
This adds basic constants, struct fields and helper function for
external data file support to the implementation.

QCOW2_INCOMPAT_MASK and QCOW2_AUTOCLEAR_MASK are not updated yet so that
opening images with an external data file still fails (we don't handle
them correctly yet).

Kevin Wolf b527c9b392 qcow2: Write full header on image creation
When creating a qcow2 image, we didn't necessarily call
qcow2_update_header(), but could end up with the basic header that
qcow2_create2() created manually. One thing that this basic header
lacks is the feature table. Let's make sure that it's always present.

This requires a few updates to test cases as well.

Kevin Wolf 1a4828c793 qcow2: Write feature table only for v3 images
Version 2 images don't have feature bits, so writing a feature table to
those images is kind of pointless.

Max Reitz 69c9872653 qcow2: Add corrupt bit
This adds an incompatible bit indicating corruption to qcow2. Any image
with this bit set may not be written to unless for repairing (and
subsequently clearing the bit if the repair has been successful).

Stefan Hajnoczi bfe8043e92 qcow2: implement lazy refcounts
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

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

Stefan Hajnoczi c61d0004bc qcow2: introduce dirty bit
This patch adds an incompatible feature bit to mark images that have not
been closed cleanly.  When a dirty image file is opened a consistency
check and repair is performed.

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

Kevin Wolf 1042ec94b1 qemu-iotests: Fix test 031 for qcow2 v3 support
qcow2.py must be updated to work with version 3 images at all, the
output has changed since the feature table extension has been added, and
version 2 and version 3 images can't possibly have the same test output.

Change the test case to completely ignore IMGOPTS and run the test for
both compat=1.1 and compat=0.10 regardless of the ./check command line.

Kevin Wolf 7299550b25 qemu-iotests: Always filter cluster_size out in _make_test_img
Some image formats do have a cluster size, others don't, but there are
tests that work with both sets of images and currently we get failures
because the qemu-img create output doesn't mention the cluster size for
some formats.
