raw-posix: Handle errors in raw_create
In qemu-iotests, some large images are created using qemu-img.
Without checks for errors, qemu-img will just create anempty image, and later read / write tests will fail.
With the patch, failures during image creation are detected...
replace bdrv_{get, put}_buffer with bdrv_{load, save}_vmstate
The VM state offset is a concept internal to the image format. Replacethe old bdrv_{get,put}_buffer method that require an index into theimage file that is constructed from the VM state offset and an offset...

qcow2: Fix L1 table memory allocation
Contrary to what one could expect, the size of L1 tables is not clusteraligned. So as we're writing whole sectors now instead of single entries,we need to ensure that the L1 table in memory is large enough; otherwise...

block-raw: Allow pread beyond the end of growable images
When using O_DIRECT, qcow2 snapshots didn't work any more for me. In theprocess of creating the snapshot, qcow2 tries to pwrite some new information(e.g. new L1 table) which will often end up being after the old end of the...
qcow2: Cache refcount blocks during snapshot creation
The really time consuming part of snapshotting is to adjust the reference countof all clusters. Currently after each adjusted cluster the refcount block iswritten to disk.
Don't write each single byte immediately to disk but cache all writes to the...

qcow2: Change default cluster size to 64k
Larger cluster sizes mean less metadata. This has been discussion a few times,let's do it now. This turns 64k clusters on by default for new images.
qcow2: Split out refcount handling
