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...
support colon in filenames
Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon becauseqemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, isinterpreted as a protocol by name "scsi".
This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above...

update_refcount: Write complete sectors
When updating the refcount blocks in update_refcount(), write complete sectorsinstead of updating single entries.
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
qcow2-refcount.c contains all functions which are related to clusterallocation and management in the image file. A large part of this is thereference counting of these clusters.
Also a header file qcow2.h is introduced which will contain the interface of...
qcow2: Split out guest cluster functions
qcow2-cluster.c contains all functions related to the management of guestclusters, i.e. what the guest sees on its virtual disk. This code is aboutmapping these guest clusters to host clusters in the image file using the...
qcow2: Split out snapshot functions
qcow2-snapshot.c contains the code related to snapshotting.
qcow2: Rename global functions
The qcow2 source is now split into several more manageable files. During theconversion quite some functions that were static before needed to be changed tobe global to make the source compile again.
We were lucky enough not to get name conflicts with these additional global...
l2_allocate: Write complete sectors
When modifying the L1 table, l2_allocate() needs to write complete sectorsinstead of single entries. The L1 table is already in memory, reading it fromdisk in the block layer to align the request is wasted performance....

raw-posix: Remove O_RDWR when attempting to open a file read-only

raw-posix: cleanup ioctl methods

raw-posix: split hdev drivers
Instead of declaring one BlockDriver for all host devices declared onefor each type: a generic one for normal disk devices, a Linux floppydriver and a CDROM driver for Linux and FreeBSD. This gets rid of a lotof messy ifdefs and switching based on the type in the various removal...
raw-posix: add a raw_open_common helper
