Kevin Wolf 4534ff5426 qemu-img check -r for repairing images
The QED block driver already provides the functionality to not only
detect inconsistencies in images, but also fix them. However, this
functionality cannot be manually invoked with qemu-img, but the
check happens only automatically during bdrv_open().

This adds a -r switch to qemu-img check that allows manual invocation
of an image repair.

Kevin Wolf a22f123ca3 qemu-img: Require larger zero areas for sparse handling
By default, require 4k of consecutive zero bytes for qemu-img to make the
output file sparse by not issuing a write request for the zeroed parts. Add an
-S option to allow users to tune this setting.

This helps to avoid situations where a lot of zero sectors and data sectors are
mixed and qemu-img tended to issue many tiny 512 byte writes.

Federico Simoncelli 661a0f712b qemu-img: Add cache command line option
qemu-img currently writes disk images using writeback and filling
up the cache buffers which are then flushed by the kernel preventing
other processes from accessing the storage.
This is particularly bad in cluster environments where time-based
algorithms might be in place and accessing the storage within
certain timeouts is critical.
This patch adds the option to choose a cache method when writing
disk images.

edison 51ef67270b Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk
In order to backup snapshots, created from QCOW2 iamge, we want to copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk to a seperate storage.
The following patch adds a new option in "qemu-img": qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img.
Right now, it only supports to copy the full snapshot, delta snapshot is on the way.

Changes from V1: all the comments from Kevin are addressed:
Add read-only checking
Fix coding style
Change the name from bdrv_snapshot_load to bdrv_snapshot_load_tmp

Kevin Wolf 3e85c6fd71 qemu-img rebase
This adds a rebase subcommand to qemu-img which allows to change the backing
file of an image.

In default mode, both the current and the new backing file need to exist, and
after the rebase, the COW image is guaranteed to have the same guest visible
content as before. To achieve this, old and new backing file are compared and,
if necessary, data is copied from the old backing file into the COW image.

With -u an unsafe mode is enabled that doesn't require the backing files to
exist. It merely changes the backing file reference in the COW image. This is
useful for renaming or moving the backing file. The user is responsible to make
sure that the new backing file has no changes compared to the old one, or
corruption may occur.

Kevin Wolf 8063d0fe3b Documentation: Don't mention old qemu-img options
The old options are still supported for compatibility, but they are
inconsistent (for example create -b vs. convert -B for backing files) and
incomplete (-F only exists for create) which tends to confuse people. Remove
all references to the old options from the documentation to guide users to the
more consistent -o options.

This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in
