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 nr_conv_zones=0 -o
max_append_sectors=512 -o max_open_zones=0 -o max_active_zones=0
-o zone_model=1
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 \
v2->v3:
- drop zoned_profile option [Klaus]
- reformat doc comments of qcow2 [Markus]
- add input validation and checks for zoned information [Stefan]
- code style: format, comments, documentation, naming [Stefan]
- add tracing function for wp tracking [Stefan]
- reconstruct io path in check_zone_resources [Stefan]
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
