Now that the code is ready to handle L2 slices we can finally add an
option to allow configuring their size.
An L2 slice is the portion of an L2 table that is read by the qcow2
cache. Until now the cache was always reading full L2 tables, and
since the L2 table size is equal to the cluster size this was not very
efficient with large clusters. Here's a more detailed explanation of
why it makes sense to have smaller cache entries in order to load L2
data:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2017-09/msg00635.html
This patch introduces a new command-line option to the qcow2 driver
named l2-cache-entry-size (cf. l2-cache-size). The cache entry size
has the same restrictions as the cluster size: it must be a power of
two and it has the same range of allowed values, with the additional
requirement that it must not be larger than the cluster size.
The L2 cache entry size (L2 slice size) remains equal to the cluster
size for now by default, so this feature must be explicitly enabled.
Although my tests show that 4KB slices consistently improve
performance and give the best results, let's wait and make more tests
with different cluster sizes before deciding on an optimal default.
Now that the cache entry size is not necessarily equal to the cluster
size we need to reflect that in the MIN_L2_CACHE_SIZE documentation.
That minimum value is a requirement of the COW algorithm: we need to
read two L2 slices (and not two L2 tables) in order to do COW, see
l2_allocate() for the actual code.

The table size in the qcow2 cache is currently equal to the cluster
size. This doesn't allow us to use the cache memory efficiently,
particularly with large cluster sizes, so we need to be able to have
smaller cache tables that are independent from the cluster size. This
patch adds a new field to Qcow2Cache that we can use instead of the
cluster size.
The current table size is still being initialized to the cluster size,
so there are no semantic changes yet, but this patch will allow us to
prepare the rest of the code and simplify a few function calls.

@mem_size and @offset are both size_t, thus subtracting them from one
another will just return a big size_t if mem_size < offset -- even more
obvious here because the result is stored in another size_t.
Checking that result to be positive is therefore not sufficient to
exclude the case that offset > mem_size. Thus, we currently sometimes
issue an madvise() over a very large address range.
This is triggered by iotest 163, but with -m64, this does not result in
tangible problems. But with -m32, this test produces three segfaults,
all of which are fixed by this patch.

Instead of using an assertion, it is better to emit a corruption event
here. Checking all offsets for correct alignment can be tedious and it
is easily possible to forget to do so. qcow2_cache_do_get() is a
function every L2 and refblock access has to go through, so this is a
good central point to add such a check.
And for good measure, let us also add an assertion that the offset is
non-zero. Making this a corruption event is not feasible, because a
zero offset usually means something special (such as the cluster is
unused), so all callers should be checking this anyway. If they do not,
it is their fault, hence the assertion here.

The problem with excessive flushing was found by a couple of performance
tests:
- parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes)
- 32 cached writes + fsync at the end in a loop
For the first one results improved from 2.6 loops/sec to 3.5 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.
For the second one results improved from ~600 fsync/sec to ~1100
fsync/sec. Though, it was run on SSD so it probably won't show such
performance gain on rotational media.
qcow2_cache_flush() calls bdrv_flush() unconditionally after writing
cache entries of a particular cache. This can lead to as many as
2 additional fdatasyncs inside bdrv_flush.
We can simply skip all fdatasync calls inside qcow2_co_flush_to_os
as bdrv_flush for sure will do the job. These flushes are necessary to
keep the right order of writes to the different caches. Though this is
not necessary in the current code base as this ordering is ensured through
the flush in qcow2_cache_flush_dependency().

After having emptied the cache, the data in the cache tables is no
longer useful, so we can tell the kernel that we are done with it. In
Linux this frees the resources associated with it.
The effect of this can be seen in the HMP commit operation: it moves
data from the top to the base image (and fills both caches), then it
empties the top image. At this point the data in that cache is no
longer needed so it's just wasting memory.

the beginning, so the average number of comparisons needed to perform
a lookup is proportional to the size of the array.
By using a hash of the offset as the starting point, lookups are
faster and independent from the array size.
The hash is computed using the cluster number of the table, multiplied
by 4 to make it perform better when there are collisions.

In a scenario with random I/O and lots of cache misses, entries in

The current algorithm to replace entries from the L2 cache gives
priority to newer hits by dividing the hit count of all existing
entries by two everytime there is a cache miss.
However, if there are several cache misses the hit count of the
existing entries can easily go down to 0. This will result in those
entries being replaced even when there are others that have never been
used.
This problem is more noticeable with larger disk images and cache
sizes, since the chances of having several misses before the cache is
full are higher.
If we make sure that the hit count can never go down to 0 again,
unused entries will always have priority.
