- New block filter: preallocate (which, on writes beyond an image file's
end, allocates big chunks of data so that such post-EOF writes will
occur less frequently)
- write-zeroes and block-status support for Quorum
- Implementation of truncate for the nvme block driver similarly to the
existing implementations for host block devices and iscsi devices
- Block layer refactoring: Drop the tighten_restrictions concept in the
block permission functions
- iotest fixes

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
