When truncating a format node, the @exact parameter is generally handled
simply by virtue of the format storing the new size in the image
metadata. Such formats do not need to pass on the parameter to their
file nodes.
There are exceptions, though:
- raw and crypto cannot store the image size, and thus must pass on
@exact.
- When using qcow2 with an external data file, it just makes sense to
keep its size in sync with the qcow2 virtual disk (because the
external data file is the virtual disk). Therefore, we should pass
@exact when truncating it.

This patch just adds the parameter and lets the block/io.c and

There is no reason why the format drivers need to truncate the protocol
node when formatting it. When using the old .bdrv_co_create_ops()

generally gives it a size of 0. (Exceptions are block devices, which
cannot be truncated anyway.)

qcow2_detect_metadata_preallocation() calls qcow2_get_refcount() which
requires s->lock to be taken to protect its accesses to the refcount
table and refcount blocks. However, nothing in this code path actually
took the lock. This could cause the same cache entry to be used by two
requests at the same time, for different tables at different offsets,
resulting in image corruption.
As it would be preferable to base the detection on consistent data (even
though it's just heuristics), let's take the lock not only around the
qcow2_get_refcount() calls, but around the whole function.
This patch takes the lock in qcow2_co_block_status() earlier and asserts
in qcow2_detect_metadata_preallocation() that we hold the lock.

qcow2_reopen_bitmaps_ro wants to store bitmaps and then mark them all

qcow2_store_persistent_dirty_bitmaps removes bitmaps after storing.
It's OK for inactivation but bad idea for reopen-ro. And this leads to
the following bug:
Assume we have persistent bitmap 'bitmap0'.
Create external snapshot
bitmap0 is stored and therefore removed
Commit snapshot
now we have no bitmaps
Do some writes from guest (*)
they are not marked in bitmap
Shutdown
Start
bitmap0 is loaded as valid, but it is actually broken! It misses
writes (*)

So, let's stop removing bitmaps on reopen-ro. But don't rejoice:

The size of the qcow2 L2 cache defaults to 32 MB, which can be easily
larger than the maximum amount of L2 metadata that the image can have.
For example: with 64 KB clusters the user would need a qcow2 image
with a virtual size of 256 GB in order to have 32 MB of L2 metadata.
Because of that, since commit b749562d98
we forbid the L2 cache to become larger than the maximum amount of L2
metadata for the image, calculated using this formula:
uint64_t max_l2_cache = virtual_disk_size / (s->cluster_size / 8);
The problem with this formula is that the result should be rounded up
to the cluster size because an L2 table on disk always takes one full
cluster.
For example, a 1280 MB qcow2 image with 64 KB clusters needs exactly
160 KB of L2 metadata, but we need 192 KB on disk (3 clusters) even if
the last 32 KB of those are not going to be used.
However QEMU rounds the numbers down and only creates 2 cache tables
(128 KB), which is not enough for the image.
A quick test doing 4KB random writes on a 1280 MB image gives me
around 500 IOPS, while with the correct cache size I get 16K IOPS.

drv_co_block_status digs bs->file for additional, more accurate search
for hole inside region, reported as DATA by bs since 5daa74a6eb.
This accuracy is not free: assume we have qcow2 disk. Actually, qcow2
knows, where are holes and where is data. But every block_status
request calls lseek additionally. Assume a big disk, full of
data, in any iterative copying block job (or img convert) we'll call
lseek(HOLE) on every iteration, and each of these lseeks will have to
iterate through all metadata up to the end of file. It's obviously
ineffective behavior. And for many scenarios we don't need this lseek
at all.
However, lseek is needed when we have metadata-preallocated image.
So, let's detect metadata-preallocation case and don't dig qcow2's
protocol file in other cases.
The idea is to compare allocation size in POV of filesystem with
allocations size in POV of Qcow2 (by refcounts). If allocation in fs is
significantly lower, consider it as metadata-preallocation case.
102 iotest changed, as our detector can't detect shrinked file as
metadata-preallocation, which don't seem to be wrong, as with metadata
preallocation we always have valid file length.
Two other iotests have a slight change in their QMP output sequence:
Active 'block-commit' returns earlier because the job coroutine yields
earlier on a blocking operation. This operation is loading the refcount
blocks in qcow2_detect_metadata_preallocation().

This patch fixes a few things in the way error codes are handled in
the qcow2 compression code:
a) qcow2_co_pwritev_compressed() expects qcow2_co_compress() to only
return -1 or -2 on failure, but this is not correct. Since the
change from qcow2_compress() to qcow2_co_compress() in commit
ceb029cd6f the new code can also return -EINVAL (although
there does not seem to exist any code path that would cause that
error in the current implementation).
b) -1 and -2 are ad-hoc error codes defined in qcow2_compress().
This patch replaces them with standard constants from errno.h.
c) Both qcow2_compress() and qcow2_co_do_compress() return a negative
value on failure, but qcow2_co_pwritev_compressed() stores the
value in an unsigned data type.

make_completely_empty() is an optimisated path for bdrv_make_empty()
where completely new metadata is created inside the image file instead
of going through all clusters and discarding them. For an external data
file, however, we actually need to do discard operations on the data
file; just overwriting the qcow2 file doesn't get rid of the data.
The necessary slow path with an explicit discard operation already
exists for other cases. Use it for external data files, too.

preallocate_co() already gave the data file the full size without
forwarding the requested preallocation mode to the protocol. When
bdrv_co_truncate() was called later with the preallocation mode, the
file didn't actually grow any more, so the data file stayed unallocated
even if full preallocation was requested.
Pass the right preallocation mode to preallocate_co() and remove the
second bdrv_co_truncate() to fix this. As a side effect, the ugly

Limiting the allocation to INT_MAX bytes isn't particularly clever
because it means that the final cluster will be a partial cluster which
will be completed through a COW operation. This results in unnecessary

With an external data file, preallocate_co() must write the final byte
to the external data file, not to the qcow2 image file.
This is harmless for preallocation of newly created images (only the
qcow2 file size is increased to the virtual disk size while it should be
much smaller), but with preallocated resize, it could in theory cause
visible corruption if the metadata of the image is larger than the data
(e.g. lots of bitmaps).

Since we now load all bitmaps into memory anyway, we can just truncate
them in-memory and then flush them back to disk. Just in case, we will
still check and enforce that this shortcut is valid -- i.e. that any
bitmap described on-disk is indeed in-memory and can be modified.
If there are any inconsistent bitmaps, we refuse to allow the truncate
as we do not actually load these bitmaps into memory, and it isn't safe

QEMU 2.12 (commit 1221fe6f63) introduced
a new setting called l2-cache-entry-size that allows making entries on
the qcow2 L2 cache smaller than the cluster size.
I have been performing several tests with different cluster and entry
sizes and all of them show that reducing the entry size (aka L2 slice)
consistently improves I/O performance, notably during random I/O (all
tests done with sequential I/O show similar results). This is to be
expected because loading and evicting an L2 slice is more expensive
the larger the slice is.
Here are some numbers on fully populated 40GB qcow2 images. The
rightmost column represents the maximum L2 cache size in both cases.
Cluster size = 64 KB
|-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
| | 1MB L2 cache | 3MB L2 cache | 5MB L2 cache |
|-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
| 4KB slices | 6545 IOPS | 12045 IOPS | 55680 IOPS |
| 16KB slices | 5177 IOPS | 9798 IOPS | 56278 IOPS |
| 64KB slices | 2718 IOPS | 5326 IOPS | 57355 IOPS |
|-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
Cluster size = 256 KB
|--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|
| | 512KB L2 cache | 1MB L2 cache | 1280KB L2 cache |
|--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|
| 4KB slices | 8539 IOPS | 21071 IOPS | 55417 IOPS |
| 64KB slices | 3598 IOPS | 9772 IOPS | 57687 IOPS |
| 256KB slices | 1415 IOPS | 4120 IOPS | 58001 IOPS |
|--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|
As can be seen in the numbers, the only exception to the rule is when
the cache is large enough to hold all L2 tables. This is also to be
expected because in this case no cache entry is ever evicted so
reducing its size doesn't bring any benefit.
This patch sets the default L2 cache entry size to 4KB except when the
cache is large enough for the whole disk.

This new field can be set by block drivers to list the runtime options
they accept that may influence the contents of the respective BDS. As of
a follow-up patch, this list will be used by the common
bdrv_refresh_filename() implementation to decide which options to put

to be created), thus freeing the drivers of having to implement that
logic themselves.
Additionally, this patch adds the field to all of the block drivers that

If the backing file is overridden, this most probably does change the
guest-visible data of a BDS. Therefore, we will need to consider this
in bdrv_refresh_filename().
To see whether it has been overridden, we might want to compare
bs->backing_file and bs->backing->bs->filename. However,
bs->backing_file is changed by bdrv_set_backing_hd() (which is just used
to change the backing child at runtime, without modifying the image
header), so bs->backing_file most of the time simply contains a copy of
bs->backing->bs->filename anyway, so it is useless for such a
comparison.
This patch adds an auto_backing_file BDS field which contains the
backing file path as indicated by the image header, which is not changed
by bdrv_set_backing_hd().
Because of bdrv_refresh_filename() magic, however, a BDS's filename may
differ from what has been specified during bdrv_open(). Then, the
comparison between bs->auto_backing_file and bs->backing->bs->filename
may fail even though bs->backing was opened from bs->auto_backing_file.
To mitigate this, we can copy the real BDS's filename (after the whole
bdrv_open() and bdrv_refresh_filename() process) into
bs->auto_backing_file, if we know the former has been opened based on
the latter. This is only possible if no options modifying the backing
file's behavior have been specified, though. To simplify things, this
patch only copies the filename from the backing file if no options have
been specified for it at all.
Furthermore, there are cases where an overlay is created by qemu which
already contains a BDS's filename (e.g. in blockdev-snapshot-sync). We
do not need to worry about updating the overlay's bs->auto_backing_file
there, because we actually wrote a post-bdrv_refresh_filename() filename
into the image header.
So all in all, there will be false negatives where (as of a future
patch) bdrv_refresh_filename() will assume that the backing file differs
from what was specified in the image header, even though it really does
not. However, these cases should be limited to where (1) the user
actually did override something in the backing chain (e.g. by specifying
options for the backing file), or (2) the user executed a QMP command to
change some node's backing file (e.g. change-backing-file or
block-commit with @backing-file given) where the given filename does not
happen to coincide with qemu's idea of the backing BDS's filename.
Then again, (1) really is limited to -drive. With -blockdev or
blockdev-add, you have to adhere to the schema, so a user cannot give
partial "unimportant" options (e.g. by just setting backing.node-name
and leaving the rest to the image header). Therefore, trying to fix
this would mean trying to fix something for -drive only.
To improve on (2), we would need a full infrastructure to "canonicalize"
an arbitrary filename (+ options), so it can be compared against
another. That seems a bit over the top, considering that filenames
nowadays are there mostly for the user's entertainment.

In the block layer, synchronous APIs are often implemented by creating a
coroutine that calls the asynchronous coroutine-based implementation and
then waiting for completion with BDRV_POLL_WHILE().
For this to work with iothreads (more specifically, when the synchronous
API is called in a thread that is not the home thread of the block
device, so that the coroutine will run in a different thread), we must
make sure to call aio_wait_kick() at the end of the operation. Many
places are missing this, so that BDRV_POLL_WHILE() keeps hanging even if
the condition has long become false.
Note that bdrv_dec_in_flight() involves an aio_wait_kick() call. This
corresponds to the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in the drain functions, but it is
generally not enough for most other operations because they haven't set
the return value in the coroutine entry stub yet. To avoid race
conditions there, we need to kick after setting the return value.
The race window is small enough that the problem doesn't usually surface
in the common path. However, it does surface and causes easily
reproducible hangs if the operation can return early before even calling
bdrv_inc/dec_in_flight, which many of them do (trivial error or no-op
success paths).
The bug in bdrv_truncate(), bdrv_check() and bdrv_invalidate_cache() is
slightly different: These functions even neglected to schedule the
coroutine in the home thread of the node. This avoids the hang, but is
obviously wrong, too. Fix those to schedule the coroutine in the right
AioContext in addition to adding aio_wait_kick() calls.

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer
versions of clang warn about this. Avoid the bug by not using the
"modify in place" byte swapping functions.
There are a few places where the in-place swap function is
used on something other than a packed struct field; we convert
those anyway, for consistency.

This patch aims to bring the following behavior:
1. We don't load bitmaps, when started in inactive mode. It's the case
of incoming migration. In this case we wait for bitmaps migration
through migration channel (if 'dirty-bitmaps' capability is enabled) or
for invalidation (to load bitmaps from the image).
2. We don't remove persistent bitmaps on inactivation. Instead, we only
remove bitmaps after storing. This is the only way to restore bitmaps,
if we decided to resume source after [failed] migration with
'dirty-bitmaps' capability enabled (which means, that bitmaps were not
stored).
3. We load bitmaps on open and any invalidation, it's ok for all cases:
- normal open
- migration target invalidation with dirty-bitmaps capability
(bitmaps are migrating through migration channel, the are not
stored, so they should have IN_USE flag set and will be skipped
when loading. However, it would fail if bitmaps are read-only[1])
- migration target invalidation without dirty-bitmaps capability
(normal load of the bitmaps, if migrated with shared storage)
- source invalidation with dirty-bitmaps capability
(skip because IN_USE)
- source invalidation without dirty-bitmaps capability
(bitmaps were dropped, reload them)
[1]: to accurately handle this, migration of read-only bitmaps is
explicitly forbidden in this patch.
New mechanism for not storing bitmaps when migrate with dirty-bitmaps
capability is introduced: migration filed in BdrvDirtyBitmap.

Fei Li pointed out that doing error_propagate() first doesn't work
well when @errp is &error_fatal or &error_abort: the error_prepend()
is never reached.
Since I doubt fixing the documentation will stop people from getting
it wrong, introduce error_propagate_prepend(), in the hope that it
lures people away from using its constituents in the wrong order.
Update the instructions in error.h accordingly.
Convert existing error_prepend() next to error_propagate to
error_propagate_prepend(). If any of these get reached with
&error_fatal or &error_abort, the error messages improve. I didn't
check whether that's the case anywhere.

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.

bdrv_truncate() is an operation that can block (even for a quite long
time, depending on the PreallocMode) in I/O paths that shouldn't block.
Convert it to a coroutine_fn so that we have the infrastructure for
drivers to make their .bdrv_co_truncate implementation asynchronous.
This change could potentially introduce new race conditions because
bdrv_truncate() isn't necessarily executed atomically any more. Whether
this is a problem needs to be evaluated for each block driver that
supports truncate:
* file-posix/win32, gluster, iscsi, nfs, rbd, ssh, sheepdog: The
protocol drivers are trivially safe because they don't actually yield
yet, so there is no change in behaviour.
* copy-on-read, crypto, raw-format: Essentially just filter drivers that
pass the request to a child node, no problem.
* qcow2: The implementation modifies metadata, so it needs to hold
s->lock to be safe with concurrent I/O requests. In order to avoid
double locking, this requires pulling the locking out into
preallocate_co() and using qcow2_write_caches() instead of
bdrv_flush().
* qed: Does a single header update, this is fine without locking.

Configuration flows through the block subsystem in a rather peculiar
way. Configuration made with -drive enters it as QemuOpts.
Configuration made with -blockdev / blockdev-add enters it as QAPI
type BlockdevOptions. The block subsystem uses QDict, QemuOpts and
QAPI types internally. The precise flow is next to impossible to
explain (I tried for this commit message, but gave up after wasting
several hours). What I can explain is a flaw in the BlockDriver
interface that leads to this bug:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -blockdev node-name=n1,driver=nfs,server.type=inet,server.host=localhost,path=/foo/bar,user=1234
qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev node-name=n1,driver=nfs,server.type=inet,server.host=localhost,path=/foo/bar,user=1234: Internal error: parameter user invalid
QMP blockdev-add is broken the same way.
Here's what happens. The block layer passes configuration represented
as flat QDict (with dotted keys) to BlockDriver methods
.bdrv_file_open(). The QDict's members are typed according to the
QAPI schema.
nfs_file_open() converts it to QAPI type BlockdevOptionsNfs, with
qdict_crumple() and a qobject input visitor.
This visitor comes in two flavors. The plain flavor requires scalars
to be typed according to the QAPI schema. That's the case here. The
keyval flavor requires string scalars. That's not the case here.
nfs_file_open() uses the latter, and promptly falls apart for members
@user, @group, @tcp-syn-count, @readahead-size, @page-cache-size,
@debug.
Switching to the plain flavor would fix -blockdev, but break -drive,
because there the scalars arrive in nfs_file_open() as strings.
The proper fix would be to replace the QDict by QAPI type
BlockdevOptions in the BlockDriver interface. Sadly, that's beyond my
reach right now.
Next best would be to fix the block layer to always pass correctly
typed QDicts to the BlockDriver methods. Also beyond my reach.
What I can do is throw another hack onto the pile: have
nfs_file_open() convert all members to string, so use of the keyval
flavor actually works, by replacing qdict_crumple() by new function
qdict_crumple_for_keyval_qiv().
The pattern "pass result of qdict_crumple() to
qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval()" occurs several times more:
* qemu_rbd_open()
Same issue as nfs_file_open(), but since BlockdevOptionsRbd has only
string members, its only a latent bug. Fix it anyway.
* parallels_co_create_opts(), qcow_co_create_opts(),
qcow2_co_create_opts(), bdrv_qed_co_create_opts(),
sd_co_create_opts(), vhdx_co_create_opts(), vpc_co_create_opts()
These work, because they create the QDict with
qemu_opts_to_qdict_filtered(), which creates only string scalars.
The function sports a TODO comment asking for better typing; that's
going to be fun. Use qdict_crumple_for_keyval_qiv() to be safe.

While qdict_extract_subqdict() is in fact used outside of the block
layer (in util/qemu-config.c), it is still a function related very
closely to how the block layer works with nested QDicts, namely by
sometimes flattening them. Therefore, its declaration is put into this

When signaling a corruption on a read-only image, qcow2 already makes
fatal events non-fatal (i.e., they will not result in the image being
closed, and the image header's corrupt flag will not be set). This is
necessary because we cannot set the corrupt flag on read-only images,
and it is possible because further corruption of read-only images is
impossible.
Inactive images are effectively read-only, too, so we should do the same
for them. bdrv_is_writable() can tell us whether an image can actually
be written to, so use its result instead of !bs->read_only.
(Otherwise, the assert(!(bs->open_flags & BDRV_O_INACTIVE)) in
bdrv_co_pwritev() will fail, crashing qemu.)

or bs->backing depending on the allocation status; bdrv_co_copy_range_to

MIN_REFCOUNT_CACHE_SIZE is 4 and the cluster size is guaranteed to be
at most 2MB, so the minimum refcount cache size (in bytes) is always
going to fit in a 32-bit integer.
Coverity doesn't know that, and since we're storing the result in a
uint64_t (*refcount_cache_size) it thinks that we need the 64 bits and
that we probably want to do a 64-bit multiplication to prevent the
result from being truncated.
This is a false positive in this case, but it's a fair warning.
We could do a 64-bit multiplication to get rid of it, but since we
know that a 32-bit variable is enough to store this value let's simply
reuse min_refcount_cache, make it a normal int and stop doing casts.

The L2 and refcount caches have default sizes that can be overridden
using the l2-cache-size and refcount-cache-size (an additional
parameter named cache-size sets the combined size of both caches).
Unless forced by one of the aforementioned parameters, QEMU will set
the unspecified sizes so that the L2 cache is 4 times larger than the
refcount cache.
This is based on the premise that the refcount metadata needs to be
only a fourth of the L2 metadata to cover the same amount of disk
space. This is incorrect for two reasons:
a) The amount of disk covered by an L2 table depends solely on the
cluster size, but in the case of a refcount block it depends on
the cluster size *and* the width of each refcount entry.
The 4/1 ratio is only valid with 16-bit entries (the default).
b) When we talk about disk space and L2 tables we are talking about
guest space (L2 tables map guest clusters to host clusters),
whereas refcount blocks are used for host clusters (including
L1/L2 tables and the refcount blocks themselves). On a fully
populated (and uncompressed) qcow2 file, image size > virtual size
so there are more refcount entries than L2 entries.
Problem (a) could be fixed by adjusting the algorithm to take into
account the refcount entry width. Problem (b) could be fixed by
increasing a bit the refcount cache size to account for the clusters
used for qcow2 metadata.
However this patch takes a completely different approach and instead
of keeping a ratio between both cache sizes it assigns as much as
possible to the L2 cache and the remainder to the refcount cache.
The reason is that L2 tables are used for every single I/O request
from the guest and the effect of increasing the cache is significant
and clearly measurable. Refcount blocks are however only used for
cluster allocation and internal snapshots and in practice are accessed
sequentially in most cases, so the effect of increasing the cache is
negligible (even when doing random writes from the guest).
So, make the refcount cache as small as possible unless the user
explicitly asks for a larger one.

Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * as well as its
subtypes, we can have macros qobject_ref() / qobject_unref() that work
everywhere instead of having to use QINCREF() / QDECREF() for QObject
and qobject_incref() / qobject_decref() for its subtypes.
The replacement is mechanical, except I broke a long line, and added a
cast in monitor_qmp_cleanup_req_queue_locked(). Unlike
qobject_decref(), qobject_unref() doesn't accept void *.
Note that the new macros evaluate their argument exactly once, thus no

We don't want to block while creating an image, so this is not the final

Instead of manually creating the BlockdevCreateOptions object, use a
visitor to parse the given options into the QAPI object.
This involves translation from the old command line syntax to the syntax
mandated by the QAPI schema. Option names are still checked against
qcow2_create_opts, so only the old option names are allowed on the
command line, even if they are translated in qcow2_create().
In contrast, new option values are optionally recognised besides the old
values: 'compat' accepts 'v2'/'v3' as an alias for '0.10'/'1.1', and
'encrypt.format' accepts 'qcow' as an alias for 'aes' now.

Currently, qcow2_create() only parses the QemuOpts and then calls
qcow2_co_create() for the actual image creation, which includes both the
creation of the actual file on the file system and writing a valid empty
qcow2 image into that file.
The plan is that qcow2_co_create() becomes the function that implements
the functionality for a future 'blockdev-create' QMP command, which only
creates the qcow2 layer on an already opened file node.
This is a first step towards that goal: Let's move out anything that
deals with the protocol layer from qcow2_co_create() into
qcow2_create(). This means that qcow2_co_create() doesn't need a file
name any more.

This function checks that the offset and size of a table are valid.
While the offset checks are fine, the size check is too generic, since
it only verifies that the total size in bytes fits in a 64-bit
integer. In practice all tables used in qcow2 have much smaller size
limits, so the size needs to be checked again for each table using its
actual limit.
This patch generalizes this function by allowing the caller to specify
the maximum size for that table. In addition to that it allows passing
an Error variable.
The function is also renamed and made public since we're going to use
it in other parts of the code.

In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in

objects.
The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h,
qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards.
Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need.
To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now

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.
