      Use writeback caching by default with qcow2 · 4dc822d7
      aliguori 提交于
      qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update.  This causes
      performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback.  This is most
      noticeable when using savevm.  Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
      regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
      the correct order.  Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
      writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.
      
      It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
      out the issues in qcow2.

      Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by default · 9f7965c7
      aliguori 提交于
      This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough
      to control the host page cache behavior.  By default, writethrough caching is
      now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk
      images.  When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity
      it not at all an issue.
      
      cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously.  The later syntax is
      still supported by now deprecated.  I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT
      implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

      Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementations · a76bab49
      aliguori 提交于
      This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations.  It's
      only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.  
      
      Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
      For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
      support registration.  This patch introduces a new function,
      qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
      called back.  qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
      with this function until one becomes readable or writable.
      
      This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
      thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
      (like NBD).

      Use common objects for qemu-img and qemu-nbd · 03ff3ca3
      aliguori 提交于
      Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the
      code.  It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for
      linking against qemu and the tools.
      
      This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for
      qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects.
      
      This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly.  I also
      changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since
      we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows.  I changed the various #if 0's to
       #if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows.
      
      After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and
      qemu-nbd.

      Use signalfd() to work around signal/select race · baf35cb9
      aliguori 提交于
      This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
      checking for AIO completions.  For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
      emulate it with threads.
      
      There was a long discussion about this approach.  I don't believe there are any
      fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
      signals is a good thing.
      
      I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests.  I've also checked
      for disk IO performance regressions.
