Please drop the exclamation marks from pr_warning() and pr_error()

You're ignoring the return value here.

Otherwise I didn't find any obvious problem in a quick scan.

Yes, O_SYNC gives you horrible performance. With explicit fsyncs cluster
allocation is somewhat slow (you can try to speed it up by batching
updates like qemu does), but at least rewrites will perform reasonably
close to raw.

[PATCH] kvm tools, qcow: Add the support for copy-on-write clusters

2011-11-20 Thread Lan Tianyu
When meeting request to write the cluster without copied flag,
allocate a new cluster and write original data with modification
to the new cluster. This also adds support for the writing operation
of the qcow2 compressed image. After testing, image file can pass
through "qemu-img check". The performance is needed to be improved.

No, lets not do that. It's easier to improve the performance of correct

Yeah. That will make the work quite simple.
After testing, fdatasync is better than fsync.

Hi Kevin:
Thanks for your review. The following means that there should be a 
fsync after updating 
metadata(refcunt block, l1 table and l2 table).

You need to make sure that the refcount update is written first (e.g.
with fsync), otherwise you risk corruption when the host crashes in the middle.

Likewise, the L1 table write must be ordered against the L2 write.

goto error is using the wrong label.

After so many explicit comments, you can probably guess what's wrong here...

[RFC v2 PATCH] kvm tools, qcow: Add the support for copy-on-write clusters

2011-11-18 Thread Lan Tianyu
When meeting request to write the cluster without copied flag,
allocate a new cluster and write original data with modification
to the new cluster. This also adds support for the writing operation
of the qcow2 compressed image. After testing, image file can pass
through "qemu-img check".

Looks reasonable - I'll take a more detailed look later today. How did
you test this? Have you checked the QCOW2 image after copy-on-write
with "qemu-img check"? There's some existing issues that seem to cause
corruption which is why we're forcing read-only. It'd be nice to fix
those issues before adding more features. ;-)

[RFC PATCH] kvm tools, qcow: Add the support for copy-on-write clusters

2011-11-16 Thread Lan Tianyu
When meeting request to write the cluster without copied flag,
allocate a new cluster and write original data with modification
to the new cluster. This also can add support for the writing
operation of the qcow2 compressed image.
