    qcow2: Assign the L2 cache relatively to the image size · b749562d
    Leonid Bloch 提交于
    Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using
    large images with frequent I/O.
    
    Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the
    L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size
    into account.
    
    Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image,
    and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is
    larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default
    (enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can
    be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option
    was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch
    makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the
    existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount
    caches, as previously.
