file-posix: Mitigate file fragmentation with extent size hints Especially when O_DIRECT is used with image files so that the page cache indirection can't cause a merge of allocating requests, the file will fragment on the file system layer, with a potentially very small fragment size (this depends on the requests the guest sent). On Linux, fragmentation can be reduced by setting an extent size hint when creating the file (at least on XFS, it can't be set any more after the first extent has been allocated), basically giving raw files a "cluster size" for allocation. This adds a create option to set the extent size hint, and changes the default from not setting a hint to setting it to 1 MB. The main reason why qcow2 defaults to smaller cluster sizes is that COW becomes more expensive, which is not an issue with raw files, so we can choose a larger size. The tradeoff here is only potentially wasted disk space. For qcow2 (or other image formats) over file-posix, the advantage should even be greater because they grow sequentially without leaving holes, so there won't be wasted space. Setting even larger extent size hints for such images may make sense. This can be done with the new option, but let's keep the default conservative for now. The effect is very visible with a test that intentionally creates a badly fragmented file with qemu-img bench (the time difference while creating the file is already remarkable) and then looks at the number of extents and the time a simple "qemu-img map" takes.
