Hello,
This is the new patchset of the QCOW2 deduplication feature using an on disk
key value store modelled after the SILT one.
This is more a millestone reached post than a for review post.
Performance is slow because the code is issuing a lot of read and write to the
SSD in a sequential ways.
The next revision will focus on parallelising the IOs.
Kevin: the first patch add the description of the QCOW2 journal structure.
The code make it easy to have multiple journal in QCOW2.
Do you think it could fit others QCOW2 usages.
Patches describing the others data structure are comming.
Best regards
Benoît
