This patch series add a new extension - zoned format - to the qcow2 driver thereby allowing full zoned storage emulation on the qcow2 img file. Users can attach such a qcow2 file to the guest as a zoned device.
To create a qcow2 file with zoned format, use command like this: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 -o size=768M -o zone_size=64M -o zone_capacity=64M -o zone_nr_conv=0 -o max_append_sectors=512 -o max_open_zones=0 -o max_active_zones=0 -o zoned_profile=zbc Then add it to the QEMU command line: -blockdev node-name=drive1,driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=../qemu/test.qcow2 \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive1 \ v1->v2: - add more tests to qemu-io zoned commands - make zone append change state to full when wp reaches end - add documentation to qcow2 zoned extension header - address review comments (Stefan): * fix zoned_mata allocation size * use bitwise or than addition * fix wp index overflow and locking * cleanups: comments, naming Sam Li (4): docs/qcow2: add the zoned format feature qcow2: add configurations for zoned format extension qcow2: add zoned emulation capability iotests: test the zoned format feature for qcow2 file block/qcow2.c | 799 ++++++++++++++++++++++- block/qcow2.h | 23 + docs/interop/qcow2.txt | 26 + docs/system/qemu-block-drivers.rst.inc | 39 ++ include/block/block-common.h | 5 + include/block/block_int-common.h | 16 + qapi/block-core.json | 46 +- tests/qemu-iotests/tests/zoned-qcow2 | 135 ++++ tests/qemu-iotests/tests/zoned-qcow2.out | 140 ++++ 9 files changed, 1214 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tests/qemu-iotests/tests/zoned-qcow2 create mode 100644 tests/qemu-iotests/tests/zoned-qcow2.out -- 2.40.1
