ploop: skip writes of zeroes to unallocated blocks by default Reading from unallocated blocks returns zeroes => we can safely skip writes of zeroes to unallocated blocks. As a lot of tests do "dd if=/dev/zero ...", this optimization is valuable. Feature enabled, test results: [root@p2 ~]# echo 1 >/sys/block/ploop37803/ptune/check_zeros [root@p2 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sb-io-test bs=1M count=1k oflag=dsync 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.58975 s, 675 MB/s The impact on CPU utilization is negligible. https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-22506 https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-22381 Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khorenko <khore...@parallels.com> Acked-by: Maxim V.
