qcow2_check_read_snapshot_table() can perform consistency checks, but it
cannot fix everything. Specifically, it cannot allocate new clusters,
because that should wait until the refcount structures are known to be
consistent (i.e., after qcow2_check_refcounts()). Thus, it cannot call
qcow2_write_snapshots().
Do that in qcow2_check_fix_snapshot_table(), which is called after
qcow2_check_refcounts().
Currently, there is nothing that would set result->corruptions, so this
is a no-op. A follow-up patch will change that.

qcow2_reopen_bitmaps_ro wants to store bitmaps and then mark them all
readonly. But the latter don't work, as
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 (*)
Incremental backup
it will be inconsistent
So, let's stop removing bitmaps on reopen-ro. But don't rejoice:
reopening bitmaps to rw is broken too, so the whole scenario will not
work after this patch and we can't enable corresponding test cases in
260 iotests still. Reopening bitmaps rw will be fixed in the following
patches.

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().

The cluster allocation code uses 0 as an invalid offset that is used in
case of errors or as "offset not yet determined". With external data
files, a host cluster offset of 0 becomes valid, though.
Define a constant INV_OFFSET (which is not cluster aligned and will
therefore never be a valid offset) that can be used for such purposes.
This removes the additional host_offset == 0 check that commit

Our code was already checking that we did not attempt to
allocate more clusters than what would fit in an INT64 (the
physical maximimum if we can access a full off_t's worth of
data). But this does not catch smaller limits enforced by
various spots in the qcow2 image description: L1 and normal
clusters of L2 are documented as having bits 63-56 reserved
for other purposes, capping our maximum offset at 64PB (bit
55 is the maximum bit set). And for compressed images with
2M clusters, the cap drops the maximum offset to bit 48, or
a maximum offset of 512TB. If we overflow that offset, we
would write compressed data into one place, but try to
decompress from another, which won't work.

Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using

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

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.

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 align_offset() function is equivalent to the ROUND_UP() macro so
there's no need to use the former. The ROUND_UP() name is also a bit
more explicit.
This patch uses ROUND_UP() instead of the slower QEMU_ALIGN_UP()
because align_offset() already requires that the second parameter is a
power of two.

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.
