[libvirt PATCH v2 1/2] storage: add support for QCOW2 cluster_size option

The default value hard-coded in QEMU (64KiB) is not always the ideal. Having a possibility to set the cluster_size by user may in specific use-cases improve performance for QCOW2 images. QEMU internally has some limits, the value has to be between 512B and 2048KiB and must by power of two, except when the image has Extended L2 Entries the minimal value has to be 16KiB. Since qemu-img ensures the value is correct and the limit is not always the same libvirt will not duplicate any of these checks as the error message from qemu-img is good enough: Cluster size must be a power of two between 512 and 2048k Resolves: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/154 Signed-off-by: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Changes in v2: - Documentation now describes only what can be affected by changing cluster_size. docs/formatstorage.html.in | 6 ++++++ docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng | 7 +++++++ docs/schemas/storagevol.rng | 3 +++ src/conf/storage_conf.c | 12 ++++++++++++ src/storage/storage_util.c | 5 +++++ .../qcow2-clusterSize.argv | 6 ++++++ tests/storagevolxml2argvtest.c | 4 ++++ .../vol-qcow2-clusterSize.xml | 17 +++++++++++++++++ .../vol-qcow2-clusterSize.xml | 17 +++++++++++++++++ tests/storagevolxml2xmltest.c | 1 + 10 files changed, 78 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-clusterSize.argv create mode 100644 tests/storagevolxml2xmlin/vol-qcow2-clusterSize.xml create mode 100644 tests/storagevolxml2xmlout/vol-qcow2-clusterSize.xml diff --git a/docs/formatstorage.html.in b/docs/formatstorage.html.in index cac44503da..9ee5b89ee6 100644 --- a/docs/formatstorage.html.in +++ b/docs/formatstorage.html.in @@ -791,6 +791,7 @@ &lt;/encryption&gt; &lt;compat&gt;1.1&lt;/compat&gt; &lt;nocow/&gt; + &lt;clusterSize unit='KiB'&gt;64&lt;/clusterSize&gt; &lt;features&gt; &lt;lazy_refcounts/&gt; &lt;/features&gt; @@ -867,6 +868,11 @@ the file image is used in VM.
